A cause of death has been confirmed for Cleto Escobedo III , the band leader on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and a lifelong friend of the late-night host.
According to a death certificate obtained by TMZ, Escobedo died on Tuesday of cardiogenic shock , a rare condition in which the heart is no longer able to pump enough blood to supply the body, depriving vital organs of oxygen. It can be caused by a “large or severe heart attack,” but not everyone who has a heart attack gets cardiogenic shock, per the Mayo Clinic.
Vasodilatory shock , disseminated intravascular coagulation — a blood clotting disorder that can cause organ damage and uncontrollable bleeding — and alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver were also listed as underlying causes. Other conditions contributing to Escobedo’s death
