On Aug. 24, former WWE Champion Windham Rotunda -- who's better known by his stage name, Bray Wyatt -- died at 36. Triple H announced the news on social media. "Just received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who informed us of the tragic news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda -- also known as Bray Wyatt -- unexpectedly passed earlier today," he wrote. "Our thoughts are with his family, and we ask that everyone respect their privacy at this time."
Frightful reported that Bray suffered a heart attack after contracting COVID, which exacerbated a preexisting heart issue. People magazine and TMZ confirmed that his cause of death was a heart attack and that the wrestler had seen a doctor earlier in the day for an ongoing heart condition before he passed away after telling his partner he was going to take a nap.
According to TMZ, family members told police the star had COVID in March 2023 and developed heart complications that led to a "weak lower part of his heart." The outlet further reported that he was not wearing a doctor-recommended heart defibrillator at the time of his death; the device was found in his car, which was parked outside his home.
Bray was hugely popular among wrestling fans, and his ring entrances were always a spectacle. After his passing, many celebrities and famous wrestlers of past and present publicly mourned his death.
