The Clark County Coroner\'s Office in Nevada has announced Pete Rose died of natural causes.
Baseball\'s all-time hit king died Monday at age 83 at his home in Las Vegas.
The statement from coroner Melanie Rouse identified the causes as \"hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with a significant condition of diabetes mellitus.\"
Hypertension is better known as high blood pressure. Atherosclerosis is hardening of the arteries due to a buildup of plaque.
One day before he died, Rose attended a collectibles show in Nashville, Tennessee, where he was photographed in a wheelchair alongside former Cincinnati Reds teammates Ken Griffey Sr., Tony Perez, George Foster and Dave Concepcion.
