The cause of death for Jimmy Kimmel’s childhood friend Cleto Escobedo III was revealed on Friday.
Escobedo’s death certificate indicated that the Jimmy Kimmel Live bandleader had died of cardiogenic shock, TMZ reported.
The condition occurs when the heart fails to pump enough blood to the rest of the body to sustain life, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Kimmel broke down in tears when he spoke about his decades-long friendship with Escobedo during his monologue on Tuesday, November 11, following the saxophonist’s death earlier that morning.
