TMZ released a report that WWE legend Paul Bearer died as a result of a heart attack according to his son.
Michael Moody stated that the death certificate for his father, William Moody, lists the cause of the heart attack as supraventricular tachycardia or SVT, a dangerously high heart rate. According to the report, a cardiologist told TMZ that SVT is quite common and if treated, usually is not deadly. Symptoms of SVT are similar to anxiety and heartburn, so people tend to ignore them. This is possibly what happened to Paul Moody.
According to Michael, doctors believe his father had been struggling with SVT for the last several weeks of his life before he passed.
