Shonka Dukureh’s cause of death is known. The star died shortly after his screen debut in “Elvis” at the age of 44.

Almost a month ago, the sad news broke that “Elvis” actress Shonka Dukureh passed away at the age of 44. Now the responsible forensic medicine from the US state of Tennessee has that Dukureh died of natural causes.

The official cause of death was a cardiovascular disease. After all, very high blood pressure combined with narrowing of the blood vessels (atherosclerosis) prevented the organs from being adequately supplied.
