That's the "official" COD, but it was leaked back then that the cardiac arrest was induced by cocaine usage.

Yeah... I've heard it attributed to the pesticides he used in his garden also... great player, great loss all the same.

Not that Wikipedia is the end-all, be-all of accuracy, but here's what's posted there:

--- PASTE ---

Jeff Porcaro suffered a fatal heart attack on August 5, 1992, at the age of 38. Initial reports suggested that the cause of death was cardiac arrest brought on by his having developed an allergic reaction to pesticides as he sprayed his garden. An autopsy revealed a serious heart condition that had been previously undiagnosed.
