Authorities believe he lost control of and crashed his Jeep Wrangler after he suffered a cardiac episode while driving.
E! News Friday quoted the coroner as saying coronary artery disease killed the star, not the accident, although the crash is still technically under investigation by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.
Toxicology tests showed alcohol was not a factor in the collision, E! News said.
