"Farley was found dead in his Chicago apartment in December of 1997; an autopsy indicated he died of an accidental overdose of cocaine and morphine, with coronary atherosclerosis -- a narrowing of the heart arteries -- a contributing factor."

Farley was severely overweight for most of his adult life and was alcoholic. He began drinking beer while at Marquette University. After struggling with obesity, alcohol, and drug addiction for years, was found dead in his 60th floor apartment of the John Hancock Center in Chicago on December 18, 1997. An autopsy revealed that Farley had died of an accidental overdose of heroin and cocaine (commonly known as a "speedball") with coronary arteriosclerosis being a contributing factor. [4] By the time of his last SNL appearance, as a guest host on October 25, 1997 [5], he was evidently in trouble — his voice was unbearably hoarse, he looked bloated, sweated profusely, and was grossly overweight. [6][7] A tabloid reported that Farley had been drinking heavily during the week of rehearsals and needed an oxygen tank. Reportedly, on the set of Almost Heroes, he required almost constant hands-on caretaking. [8] Chris's father Tom Sr. died a year later, weighing around 500 pounds.
Farley's death is often compared to that of John Belushi, a fellow gifted physical comedian and SNL alumnus who also died at age 33 from a drug overdose.

I think the drug overdose caused the heart attack.
