(L.A.) Alfonzo Moret, 68, Died from Obesity

Case Number: 2022-12941

Los Angeles County is reporting the death of a 68-year-old Black male that occurred in a hotel/motel.

The coroner’s office has identified the man as Alfonzo Moret.

Manner of Death: Natural

Cause of Death: Obesity

RIP ALFONZO MORET (August 29, 1954 – December 12, 2022)

The first name of the deceased is spelled Alfonzo, not Alfonso.

This is quite a strange ruling by the medical examiner. What exactly caused the man’s death? Liver failure? Heart attack? Lung collapse? Multiple organ failure? Obesity can be listed as a significant contributing factor, but there should be a more specific cause of death.
