Larson died from an aortic dissection, believed to have been caused by undiagnosed Marfan syndrome. His body was found on the kitchen floor by his roommate at 3AM. Larson had been suffering severe chest pains, dizziness, and shortness of breath for several days before his death, but doctors at Cabrini Medical Center and St. Vincent's Hospital could not find signs of an aortic dissection even after conducting a chest X-ray and electrocardiogram, so they misdiagnosed it either as influenza or stress. New York State medical investigators concluded that if the aortic dissection had been properly diagnosed and treated with cardiac surgery, Larson may have lived.
