The official cause of J. Edgar Hoover's death is listed as a heart attack. The news reports the day after his death had indicated his death was due to the effects of high blood pressure. No autopsy was performed, which has led to speculation that other factors may have caused his death, including poisoning.

(John Edgar Hoover (January 1, 1895 - May 2, 1972) was director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from its inception on March 22, 1935 until his death on May 2, 1972. Prior to that, he directed the Bureau of Investigation for almost 11 years.)
