The cause of death for Ray Liotta—the tough-guy actor who starred in “Goodfellas” and “Field of Dreams”—has been revealed one year after he died in the Dominican Republic, according to a report. He was 67 at the time of his death.

According to documents from the country obtained by TMZ, Liotta’s death was due to acute heart failure and respiratory issues. The documents categorized the actor’s death as “natural and non-violent,” and the result of heart failure, respiratory insufficiency, and fluid in the lungs—officially known as pulmonary edema.
