Cape May County Man Died From Natural Causes

PHILADELPHIA (CBS)-- A death certificate now shows that a Cape May County man died from natural causes.

We first reported on the death of 30-year-old Richard Paul back in October.

It was part of a story about increased heroin use at the shore.

Paul's father told us at the time that his son admitted using drugs, but he never specified that Paul had used heroin, or that it caused his death.

A death certificate now confirms that Paul's death resulted from heart disease.

Paul's family also says he had undergone two kidney transplants.
