According to a source, Peter apparently fell, hit his head and lost consciousness.

His sister says a mass will be held in Atlanta. No further details are available at this moment.

UPDATE 8/1: His sister has confirmed that cause of death was cardiac arrest due to an enlargement of the heart. Peter suffered from an undiagnosed medical condition called cardiomegaly, which results in congestive heart failure, frequently causing sudden cardiac death.
