Sean Levert died of natural causes

The R&B singer Sean Levert, who died at age 39 after falling ill in jail, suffered from a variety of ailments and died of natural causes, County Coroner Frank Miller ruled Thursday.

Patti Webster, Levert’s publicist, did not return a call seeking comment on the coroner’s findings.

Miller said Levert died from complications of sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease. The coroner said Levert also suffered from other conditions, including cardiovascular disease and withdrawal from alprazolam — a drug used to treat anxiety disorders and panic attacks.

As I reported last month Sean was serving jail time for failing to pay child support. He had pleaded guilty in March to six counts of failure to pay child support to the tune of $89,025.
