Samuels was accompanied by an unidentified female friend at the time of his passing and, according to her, the image consultant had complained about chest pains before collapsing in his apartment.

"He has an irregular rhythm! I can feel it! He's breathing in and out but he has an irregular rhythm. It's probably his heart," she told the 911 dispatcher in a devastating two-minute-long phone call released in the days following Samuels’ death.

According to the medical examiner, Samuel passed away from hypertension – a condition more commonly known as high blood pressure.

"Evidence of hypertension includes a heart whose chambers are thicker than normal,” the medical examiner added after also revealing that Samuels was taking Atenolol at the time of his death – a medication prescribed for both high blood pressure and chest pain.

Although there was substantial suspicion surrounding Samuels’ mysterious and abrupt passing in May, the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office also revealed that the late image consultant died due to natural causes.

As RadarOnline.com also previously reported, Samuels’ death was officially confirmed by his mother on May 6 – one day after he collapsed and was transported to Piedmont Hospital.
