At the time of his death, authorities said Villazana was hospitalized with a preexisting medical condition but did not provide further updates.
On Wednesday, the medical examiner's office records stated Villazana's cause of death was "complications of pontine hemorrhage associated with hypertensive cardiovascular disease."
Following his death, the Harris County Sheriff's Office said its Internal Affairs Division had initiated an investigation to ensure that all applicable policies and procedures were followed. Such investigations are standard practice in these cases.
