Heart disease caused Cook's death


A post-mortem examination has found former Foreign Secretary Robin Cook died of hypertensive heart disease.

The MP for Livingston collapsed and fell while hillwalking in Sutherland at the weekend.

The examination confirmed that he died from his illness rather than injuries sustained in the fall.

Mr Cook's funeral will be held at St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh on Friday morning. Prime Minister Tony Blair is on holiday and will not attend.
