The stuntman who was the double for Chris Pratt in “Jurassic World” and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2″ died in May, but the medical examiner just released the actor’s cause of death.
Tony McFarr, 37, was found dead in his home near Orlando, Florida, on May 13.
The Orange County Medical Examiner said McFarr died of probable cardiac dysrhythmia due to mitral valve insufficiency. There were also contributing factors including alcohol poisoning and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD.) The medical examiner ruled McFarr’s death an accident, Deadline reported.

US Weekly said he also did stunts for Brendan Fraser and Jon Hamm.
McFarr also had several acting roles himself on “One Tree Hill,” “Burn Notice” and “Army Wives,” according to his IMDB profile.
