His official death certificate described his occupation as a “rock legend, songwriter and performer” in a heart-warming nod towards Ozzy.
In recent years, Ozzy had been battling numerous health conditions, including Parkinson’s.
The document lists “acute myocardial infarction” and “out of hospital cardiac arrest” under the cause of death section.
It also records coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction as “joint causes” of Ozzy’s death.
Ozzy’s tragic passing comes just weeks after his final performance in his home town – where it all began.
The rocker sang five songs in his own set, with fans waving torches from their phones during Mama, I’m Coming Home.
He finished his performance with Crazy Train, before confetti rained over a packed Villa Park.
After a short break, Ozzy re-entered the stage to join the rest of Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years.
The band performed some of their greatest hits, ending with a rendition of Paranoid.
In his last ever interview, the heavy metal icon said his “final encore” meant “everything”.
Marilyn Manson and Slipknot lead who’s who of rock at Ozzy Osbourne’s funeral
Ozzy sang with his fellow founding fathers of heavy metal while seated on an iconic black bat throne.
It was the first time in two decades that the original Black Sabbath line-up have performed together.
Ozzy had previously vowed that it would be his final performance due to his deteriorating health, having opened up about his battle with Parkinson’s in 2020.
Back To The Beginning also featured a mega line-up of fellow rock stars, performing their own sets and as a super-group, and all the profits made will be going to charity.
In another poignant twist, Ozzy’s daughter Kelly Osbourne got engaged to her boyfriend Sid Wilson at the veteran rocker’s final concert.
Last Thursday, an “incredibly emotional” funeral service was held for the rocker, a family friend told The Sun.
Tents were erected on the 250-acre grounds of the house Ozzy and Sharon bought in 1993, along with a stage where tributes were paid to the rocker.
The home was decorated with pictures of Ozzy, and mourners were given a photograph of him to take home.
110 of the singer’s nearest and dearest attended, joining his wife Sharon and his children Jack, 39, Kelly, 40, Aimee, 41, and Louis, 50, his son from his first marriage to Thelma Riley.
Stars at the service included Ozzy’s Black Sabbath bandmates, Metallica’s James Hetfield, punk singer Yungblud and Sir Elton John.
Rock icon Marilyn Manson flew in from the US to attend, alongside Ozzy’s guitarist Zakk Wylde and Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor.
The day before, thousands of fans gathered in the streets of Birmingham to pay tribute to Ozzy.
