Catherine O'Hara's cause of death has been revealed.
The actress died of a pulmonary embolism, according to her death certificate released Monday by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office.
Rectal cancer is listed on the certificate as the underlying cause of death.
A pulmonary embolism is a sudden blockage in a lung artery that occurs as a result of a blood clot traveling to the lungs, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Colorectal cancer, a disease in which "cells in the colon or rectum grow out of control," is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, according to the National Cancer Institute.
