SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC died of a heart attack in his jail cell, according to preliminary post-mortem findings last night.

The UN war crimes tribunal in the Hague released a statement saying it had received “a brief summary of the autopsy results. According to the pathologists, Slobodan Milosevic’s cause of death was a myocardial infarction”.

Dutch pathologists carried out an eight-hour examination on the former Yugoslav president’s body yesterday after he was found dead in his cell on Saturday.
