"The pathologist found the only abnormality was True’s heart was dilated. In particular his left ventricle was mildly dilated and thickened. There was no evidence of blockage or significant narrowing in any of the coronary arteries; he did not have a heart attack. There was no evidence of trauma such as a fall causing his death.

The coroner concluded it is likely True suffered an exercise -induced cardiac arrhythmia that caused his death. The abnormal rhythm it was concluded occurred due to the structural changes found of his left ventricle."
