Roots Actor John Amos’ Cause of Death Revealed

John Amos’ cause of death has been confirmed.

The Roots star, who died Aug. 21 at age 84, succumbed to congestive heart failure, according to his death certificate obtained by TMZ. The document also states that no autopsy was performed on his body, and he was cremated Aug. 30, nine days after his passing.

But while the Good Times alum passed in August, it wasn’t until October that his son, Kelly Christopher “K.C.” Amos, confirmed his death.

“He was a man with the kindest heart and a heart of gold… and he was loved the world over,” K.C. told Deadline in an Oct. 1 statement. “Many fans consider him their TV father. He lived a good life. His legacy will live on in his outstanding works in television and film as an actor.”

The statement continued, “My father loved working as an actor throughout his entire life…. most recently in Suits LA playing himself and our documentary about his life journey as an actor, America’s Dad. He was my dad, my best friend, and my hero.”
