Scott County Coroner Scott Amick previously confirmed to PEOPLE that Boyd died at his mother’s home.
“Neal was on a CPAP machine and when EMS got there, they put the monitor on him and confirmed he was deceased,” the coroner said, adding that Boyd “had some medical issues.”
“He had heart failure, kidney failure and some liver disease,” he explained. “Just a number of things were wrong with him, and ultimately that’s what led to his demise.”
Amick said given Boyd’s medical history, “there was no reason” to perform an autopsy.
“He had a number of health issues, and a lot of that would be attributed to Neil’s weight,” said Amick.
Boyd was previously badly injured aftergetting into a car crashin 2017 when he blacked out behind the wheel, according to TMZ.
In an interview with theSoutheast Missourianpublished in February, Boyd described the crash as being “a very, very, very bad wreck,” adding that he “shattered a lot of bones and shattered my hip, which has left me almost unable to use that leg for now.”
The singer added that in addition to focusing on his “slow” recovery, he was writing “uplifting” music for a new album, which was scheduled to be released in 2019.
