Found [this](http://insideireland.ie/2011/02/11/gary-moores-funeral-set-for-brighton-7995/).

FTA: "A suspected heart attack was indicated in the initial post mortem results.

However further tests will be carried out to find the exact cause of death.

He is survived by four children; daughters Saoirse and Lily and sons Jack and Gus.

Gary Moore’s family issued a statement on Wednesday saying they took great comfort in the fact he died of natural causes and was looking forward to his holiday prior to recording a new album."
