A blood clot in Shepherd’s lung caused him to fall and hit his head while he was getting out of his car, the Dallas Morning News reported.
"The pulmonary embolism started by the car, which caused the falling, and he was able to slightly recover and get into the car and was able to continue," the medical examiner said at a news conference.
