Gottfried died at 2:35 p.m. ET on Tuesday from Recurrent Ventricular Tachycardia due to Myotonic Dystrophy type II, according to Glenn Schwartz, his longtime friend and publicist.
In other words, he died during a very long run of V. tach. The docs either tried and couldn't convert that heart rhythm to a sinus rhythm (the normal heart rhythm), or, his advanced directive (living will) specifically stated not to attempt to resuscitate him.
