Natural causes…

Via: New York Times:

George Hickenlooper, a director whose credits include an Emmy-winning documentary about the making of “Apocalypse Now” and a film starring Kevin Spacey as the disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff that is scheduled to open in December, died on Saturday in Denver. He was 47.

He was in Denver to spend time with his cousin John Hickenlooper, the mayor of Denver and a candidate for governor of Colorado, before attending a film festival where his “Casino Jack” was to be shown, said Liz Biber, a publicist for the film, who confirmed the death. John Hickenlooper said in a statement that his cousin apparently died of natural causes.
