Autopsy results released yesterday showed that Harry Kalas died from heart disease.

A spokeswoman at the Washington D.C. chief medical examiner's office said Kalas, the Phillies' longtime broadcaster, had high blood pressure and suffered from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Kalas, 73, died Monday prior to the Phillies game in Washington.
