Tony McFarr, who was renowned for his role as the stunt double for actor Chris Pratt, passed away from a heart condition that was likely caused by acute alcohol poisoning as a result of protracted heavy drinking.
According to TMZ, the Orange County Medical Examiner in Florida officially declared that McFarr’s death was the consequence of an irregular heartbeat in the documents that were filed.
The report continued to indicate that his heartbeat was irregular as a result of an issue with his heart valves.
According to TMZ, the medical examiner determined that alcohol poisoning and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a lung disease that induces breathing difficulties, were the primary factors contributing to his demise. McFarr passed away in May at the age of 47.
