The Los Angeles County Coroner has release death certificates for Debbie Reynolds and her daughter, Carrie Fisher.

Reynolds’ death certificate confirms that the actress died of a stroke.

The L.A. County death certificate was obtained Tuesday by the Associated Press.

Under cause of death, it indicates “intracerebral hemorrhage,” a type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain. The certificate lists high blood pressure as an underlying cause.
