NY Post
Dodgers great Fernando Valenzuela died of septic shock, according to his death certificate.
Valenzuela died last month at the age of 63 and TMZ obtained his death certificate on Tuesday, which also noted decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis cirrhosis as underlying causes for the pitcher’s death.
Valenzuela, who pitched 11 years with the Dodgers before going on to work as a baseball broadcaster, had his remains cremated, and they are at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
According to TMZ, the medical examiner believed that Valenzuela had suffered from a rare brain disorder known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Valenzuela played 17 total seasons in the MLB, spending time with the Angels, Orioles, Phillies, Padres and Cardinals after his Dodges tenure.
He was named a six-time All-Star and won the CY Young and Rookie of the Year in 1981.
