The cause of death for Cleto Escobedo, the former bandleader for Jimmy Kimmel, has been disclosed.

According to TMZ, the renowned saxophonist passed away due to cardiogenic shock.

Escobedo’s death certificate also identifies several underlying factors, including vasodilatory shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver, the outlet reports.

In addition, the certificate mentions sepsis, graft versus host disease, immunosuppression, chronic kidney disease, and pneumonia as contributing conditions.

Cardiogenic shock is a critical condition where the heart fails to pump sufficient blood to fulfill the body’s requirements, as explained by the Mayo Clinic.

As we previously reported, Escobedo died on Tuesday after complications stemming from a liver transplant. He was 59.

We were told that the bandleader was hospitalized last week, and Kimmel canceled his Nov. 6 taping at the last minute to be by his friend’s side.

Due to Kimmel’s loss, he canceled his late-night talk show Wednesday and Thursday.

Earlier this week, Kimmel emotionally honored the late bandleader on the Nov. 11 episode of the late-night talk show. The comedian broke down in tears as he remembered his lifelong friend.

“We’ve been on the air for almost 23 years and I’ve had to do some hard monologues along the way, but this one’s the hardest because late last night, early this morning, we lost someone very special who was much too young to go,” the emotional comedian told his audience on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

“We had so many adventures. We would laugh so hard. We had our own language that, like, almost no one else understood,” Kimmel recalled of their childhood.

Escobedo was the leader of his band, Cleto and the Cletones, for nearly 23 years. His father played the tenor and alto saxophone alongside his son.
