The Los Angeles County Fire Department tells ET that they responded to a cardiac arrest call at 5:34 a.m. at the Sunset Marquis Hotel. According to the coroner's office, they are looking at this as a "probable natural cause death" unless the investigation uncovers anything different. The coroner's office added that, depending on the history of the deceased and the circumstances, an autopsy may not need to be performed, but that is undecided at this time as it is still an open investigation.
