People and TMZ report that Amos' death certificate states that he died on Aug. 21 at 5:18 p.m. and there were no other significant medical conditions that contributed to his death

The actor died in August, although the family wasn't notified until October when the news was made public in the media.

John's daughter and other loved ones claimed they learned of Amos' death through the media and said they believe his remains were cremated in order to avoid a further investigation into his death
