PHILADELPHIA – Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua, the former Archbishop at the center of the Philadelphia clergy child sex-abuse scandal , died of natural causes, the coroner in the case said on Thursday.

Montgomery County Coroner Walter Hofman released the finding at a press conference in Norristown, Pa.

Hofman said heart disease was the primary cause of death and the prostate cancer was a contributing cause. He saw no link between the Cardinal’s death and a request that he testify in court in an abuse scandal.
