THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) - Preliminary results from an autopsy conducted
Sunday showed that Slobodan Milosevic died of a heart attack, an official of
the U.N. war crimes tribunal said.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized
to release information, said the autopsy lasted about eight hours. Milosevic,
64, was found dead in his detention cell outside The Hague on Saturday.
He had suffered heart ailments, high blood pressure and headaches, forcing
numerous delays in his four-year war crimes trial.
A tribunal spokeswoman could not immediately comment but said a statement on
the autopsy findings would be released shortly.
