Comedy legend Robbie Coltrane died from a series of illnesses including multiple organ failure, his death certificate shows.
The 6 foot 1 Harry Potter star is understood to have been ill for some time, with other causes detailed including diabetes and obesity.
Robbie Coltrane celebrated for both his acting and his comedy, passed away eight days ago at the age of 72.
His death certificate gives both his professional name and the original birth name of Anthony Robert McMillan. He assumed the surname Coltrane in the 1970s in tribute to the jazz saxophonist John Coltrane.
Other causes of death given were sepsis, where an infection triggers a severe response throughout the body, lower respiratory tract infection and heart obstruction.
A heart block occurs when the electrical impulses that regulate your heartbeat are delayed or thwarted.
Robbie’s death was registered by his ex-wife, Pilates instructor Rhona Gemmell, who he’d stayed close to after they split.
The dad of two appeared in movies including the crime drama ‘Mona Lisa’ with Bob Hoskins and Bond films ‘Golden Eye’ and ‘The World Is Not Enough’.
It’s heartbreaking that he was ill for a period of time before dying. He was a fantastic actor and will live on in that way, and he had a life well lived, and now he should be left in peace.
Sadly his conditions were ganging up on him, but still, he was a fantastic performer and he will eternally be replaceable, and it was an undeserved end for one who brought so much pleasure and gentle grace to his art.

My vision on life is pretty broad, therefore I like to address specific subjects that intrigue me. Therefore I really appreciate the world of politics, though I have no actual views on who I will vote for, that I will not tell you, so please do not ask!
I am like an observation station when it comes to writing, and I simply take the news and make it my own. I have no expectations, I simply love to write, and I know this seems really odd, but I don't get paid for it, I really like what I do and since I am never under any pressure, I constantly find that I write much better, rather than being blanketed under masses of paperwork and articles that I am on a deadline to complete.
The chances are, that whilst all other journalists are out there, ripping their hair out, attempting to get their articles completed, I'm simply rambling along at my convenience creating my perfect piece.
I guess it must look pretty unpleasant to some of you that I work for nothing, perhaps even brutal. Perhaps I have an obvious disregard for authority, I have no idea, but I would sooner be working for myself, than under somebody else, excuse the pun!
Small I maybe, but substantial I will become, eventually.
My desk is the most chaotic mess, though surprisingly I know where everything is, and I think that I would be quite unsuited for a desk job.
My views on matters vary and I am extremely open-minded to the stuff that I write about, but what I write about is the truth and getting it out there, because the people must be acquainted. Though I am quite entertained by what goes on in the world.
My spotlight is mostly to do with politics, though I do write other material as well, but it's essentially politics that I am involved in, and I tend to concentrate my attention on that, however, information is essential. If you have information the possibilities are endless because you are only limited by your own imagination...
