A final autopsy report issued by the Broward County, Fla., Medical Examiner's office lists the cause of death of John Tammaro Jr.to be an accidental drowning.

The 75-year-old Tammaro was found in his car at the bottom of a Broward County canal on April 9. He had been missing since Feb.25. Though the report did not speculate on the date of death, it did indicate there were "changes of advanced decomposition."

Though those close to Tammaro had worried about foul play, the autopsy report made it that there was no trauma. Though the report noted Tammaro was dressed in blue slacks and a white shirt, he was also wearing blue swim trunks underneath the pants.
