More on Passing of Bray Wyatt – Cause of Death, WWE Donating All Proceeds of Wyatt Merch to His Family, Tributes

As noted before, Bray Wyatt, real name Windham Rotunda, tragically passed away on Thursday.

Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reported that with permission from his family, Wyatt’s cause of death was due to a heart attack. Sapp reported that Wyatt had contracted COVID earlier this year which exacerbated an existing heart issue and led to him suffering a heart attack at the time. Wyatt reportedly suffered asecond heart attack on Thursday related to this health issue that led to his passing. This reportedly was the “physical illness” that Wyatt had been suffering from since this past March.

I encourage those reading to respect the family’s privacy if at all possible, but his loved ones wanted some details clarified
