Heart attack, drugs killed Andy Irons: report

A toxicology report into the death of world champion surfer Andy Irons has revealed acute mixed drug ingestion was a possible contributing factor.

The family of former world champion surfer Andy Irons who died last November have released the toxicology report into his death.

Irons, who won three world titles, died of a sudden cardiac arrest due to a severe blockage of a major heart artery.

The toxicology report reveals as a possible contributing factor a acute mixed drug ingestion.

But two leading pathologists disagree on whether a genetic predisposition to heart failure allied with a severe bout of flu and travelling while sick led to his heart attack at the age of 32 last November.
