Milosevic died of heart attack, says probe

AMSTERDAM - A final investigation into the death of Slobodan Milosevic showed that the former Yugoslav President died of a heart attack with no sign of foul play involved, Dutch prosecutors said.

Milosevic was found dead in his cell at the detention unit in The Hague on March 11, just months before a verdict was due in his war crimes trial.

There had been speculation over whether he had tried to worsen his health or had been poisoned.

"There is not a single indication that the death was the result of foul play," prosecutors said. "The National Forensic Institute has ... concluded that the cause of death was a heart attack."
