The reports identified high blood pressure and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease which develops when plaque accumulates in the arteries as contributory factors in his death.
The medical examiner’s report states that Hollis was declared dead at the scene in February after being discovered unconscious by officials at his residence. Hollis had a history of depression, high blood pressure and drug and alcohol misuse.
Hollis’ heart was enlarged and dilated as well. The report said:
“Mr. Hollis’s underlying natural disease of the heart would have predisposed it to developing an abnormal rhythm, particularly in the presence of a stimulant drug such as cocaine.”

Jackson, Sawyer, Ford and Noah, the four children he had with his ex-wife. The couple wed in 2004 and made their separation public in 2020. They have four kids together: a daughter named Noah, three sons named Jackson, Sawyer and Ford.
Less than a week before his passing, Dave shared a picture of his daughter grinning by the water in his penultimate social media post.
In an Instagram post after learning of her ex-husband’s passing, Rachel Hollis requested prayers. She said, “We are devastated, Please wrap the kids up in prayers as we try and navigate through the unthinkable.”
In a Feb. 27 episode of “The Rachel Hollis Podcast” she stated that the news of her ex-husband’s passing surprised her. She said:
“We still honestly don’t know what happened. I found out after the fact that he had gone to the hospital a couple of times because he was having heart problems, So I think it’s really highly possible he had a heart attack but I don’t know and whatever he died from … we’re still in the same space, which is just deep grief.”
