The certificate was issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and has been made public 10 days after Jones’ death.
Over an illustrious 70 year career, the producer and composer won 28 Grammy awards.
He had a long list of well-known music credits, including as the producer of Michael Jackson’s Thriller album.
His publicist, Arnold Robinson, confirmed his death at his Los Angeles home on Sunday surrounded by family.
In a statement, his family said, “Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing.
“And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him.”
Jones worked as a record producer, songwriter, and composer, as well as a film and television producer.
He was married three times and had seven children, including actress Rashida Jones, best known for her roles on NBC as Karen Filippelli on The Office and Ann Perkins in Parks and Recreation.
Jones was born in Chicago and in 1953, aged 20, went on a jazz tour with the Hampton orchestra.
He then went on to work in TV in New York City and later supported rock icon Elvis Presley in a studio band.
Lionel Richie, who worked on the charity song We Are The World with Jones, described him as “the master orchestrator.”
Time magazine dubbed him one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century.
Yesterday, Jones posted a heartfelt birthday tribute to his daughter Tina.
“Happy Birthday to my Tina Beena!!” he wrote.
“So proud to be yo papa! Big hug, I love you eternally.”
The dad-of-seven was married to Jeri Caldwell, Ulla Andersson, and Peggy Lipton.
One of his sons, Quincy Jones III, also works as a music producer.
In a 2016 interview with the Library of Congress, Jones said, “The tracks don’t just all of a sudden appear.
“The producer has to have the skill, experience, and ability to guide the vision to completion.”
