Doctor conducts autopsy on Zeke Upshaw, says 'there were some cardiac abnormalities'

Kent County Medical Examiner Dr. Stephen Cohle said he conducted an autopsy on Zeke Upshaw’s body Tuesday and determined that his death was the result of cardiac failure.

“We did an autopsy today. It’s my opinion that it's a cardiac death.” Cohle said (via WoodTV.com). “I think he died a sudden cardiac death.”

“There were some cardiac abnormalities that I hope to clarify by looking at the tissue slides,” Cohle said. “I’m going to try to characterize the exact type of heart disease microscopically.”
