The specific cause of death was hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, or atherosclerosis, an accumulation of plaque in the arteries that can cause hardening and / or narrowing of the heart muscle. Pulmonary emphysema was also a contributing factor.

The findings of the autopsy coincide with two touching messages of the Ocasek family on social networks, which helped to better understand the last hours of the singer-songwriter. The first message, written by Paulina Porizkova (wife of Ocasek) (from which he has amicably separated in 2018), indicates that the pioneer of the new wave died in his sleep after a surgical operation.

"Ric was at home recovering very well after the operation. Our two sons, Jonathan and Oliver, and I assured ourselves that he was comfortable, ordering food and watching TV together, "wrote Porizkova. "I found him still asleep by bringing him his Sunday morning coffee. I touched his cheek to wake him up. It was at that time that I realized that during the night he had died peacefully. We appreciate the great outpouring of love. We, his family and friends, are completely and utterly devastated by his unexpected and unexpected death and would appreciate the respect of private life that separates him privately. "

Jonathan and Oliver also tweeted, via Cars' official report, the latest drawing of their father, a prolific artist who regularly presents his drawings, his photo collages and his paintings in mixed media. "Our father was a prolific doodler. His death was sudden, unexpected, and beyond sorrow. Yesterday, we found this last doodle on his chair. He could not know what that would mean to us. We love him so much. Ocasek's charming drawing on paper and paper reads "Keep on laughing". That's what it is. "

In addition, Porizkova went to Instagram to thank fans who left flowers and candles in front of Ocasek's Manhattan townhouse.

Ocasek is survived by his six sons, the other four being Christopher, Adam, Eron and Derek Otcasek, from his two previous marriages.
