The death certificate of Melrose Place actor Patrick Muldoon, who died at age 57 on April 19, lists a heart attack as the primary cause, along with contributing factors including a hereditary coagulopathy disorder and pulmonary embolism, according to records obtained by Us Weekly.
Following initial reports of Patrick Muldoon's death from a heart attack after collapsing in his shower, new details from his Los Angeles County Department of Public Health death certificate provide further insight. Us Weekly exclusively obtained the document, which confirms the heart attack but also notes a hereditary coagulopathy—a genetic blood clotting disorder—and a pulmonary embolism, a blockage in lung blood flow, as contributing conditions. Muldoon was found unconscious by his girlfriend, Miriam Rothbart, on April 19 and was pronounced dead at the scene. He was cremated on April 28. His final Instagram posts showed no indication of health issues, depicting him enjoying daily life. Tributes poured in from former co-stars, including ex-girlfriend Denise Richards, who called him her 'best friend & family,' and Tori Spelling, who remembered him as a 'beautiful soul' with a quirky sense of humor.
