(Classic Rock) B.B. King was not poisoned to death, the investigating coroner has said. It follows claims from some members of the blues icon's family that there had been foul play before his passing in May.

Instead, he died as a result of Alzheimer's disease and other physical conditions at the age of 89. The ruling closes the investigation into King's death. Las Vegas police confirm no further activity is planned in relation to the allegations.

Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg reports: "At this point we can say with confidence that Mr. King died of natural causes. Our condolences go out to the family and many friends of Mr. King. We hope this determination brings them some measure of closure." Read more here.
