According to Clark’s death certificate released on Monday, the 82-year-old was having surgery for an enlarged prostate.
“He had very minor prostate surgery,” Congressman David Dreier told Extra. “All of a sudden, he got a feeling in his arm about 9:30 [Wednesday] morning and he was gone by 11:15. It turned out to be a massive heart attack.”
The American Bandstand host was cremated on Friday and there is talk that the family may have a private “invitation only” memorial service at Clark’s Malibu home.
