Former UNLV football player Ben Christman was determined to have died from cardiac arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy, according to the Clark Co. (Nev.) Coroner. Cardiac arrhythmia is also known as an irregular heartbeat and cardiomyopathy is a disease that weakens the heart muscles.

Christman reportedly felt chest pains the day before he died while practicing and underwent an EKG at a team facility.

UNLV offensive lineman Ben Christman, who was found dead in an off-campus apartment on Feb. 11, died from heart disease and an irregular heartbeat, the Clark County Coroner's Office announced Thursday.
