Medical examiner says Moses Malone died of cardiovascular disease

NORFOLK, Va. - The Virginia medical examiner's office says Hall of Fame basketball player Moses Malone died of natural causes.

Malone was found dead in a Norfolk hotel Sunday morning. He was 60.

On Monday, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said Malone's cause of death was listed as hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Malone's friend, Kevin Vergara, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch on Monday that the Hall of Famer saw a doctor about an irregular heartbeat less than a week ago.
