Tragic news has emerged in the world of professional wrestling as it has been reported that Bray Wyatt, whose real name is Windham Rotunda, dealt with a series of heart complications leading up to his untimely death. The 36-year-old unexpectedly passed away last Thursday, reportedly suffering a heart attack. Wyatt had previously contracted COVID-19 earlier this year, which exacerbated his pre-existing heart issues. Despite showing signs of improvement and nearing a potential return to WWE, Wyatt’s health took a devastating turn.
A new report from TMZ reveals that Wyatt experienced a series of heart complications in the months preceding his passing. Shockingly, it was noted that a doctor-recommended heart defibrillator, designed to treat sudden cardiac arrest, was not with him when his body was found. This raises questions about whether the device could have potentially saved his life.
According to police records, Wyatt informed his fiancée that he was going to take a nap on the day of his passing. Concern arose when his alarm continued to sound for an hour without interruption. He was discovered in his bed, unresponsive and turning blue. Wyatt’s fiancée immediately called 911 while her mother attempted CPR. Tragically, Wyatt was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
Only a week prior to his death, Wyatt had been hospitalized for a heart issue. He had a follow-up appointment scheduled with doctors on the day he passed away, during which he was advised to continue wearing the external heart defibrillator. However, investigators discovered that Wyatt was not wearing the device at the time of his death. It was later found in his vehicle in the driveway of his home.
Wyatt’s immediate family members revealed that he had contracted COVID-19 in March, which led to the development of heart complications. These complications resulted in a weakened lower part of his heart. It is important to note that the TMZ report mistakenly referred to Wyatt’s fiancée as his “girlfriend.” In fact, Wyatt had been engaged to JoJo Offerman since last year, and the couple had two children together. Wyatt also had two children from his previous marriage.
This tragic loss has sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling community. Bray Wyatt was known for his unique character and captivating performances in the ring. Fans and fellow wrestlers alike are mourning the loss of such a talented individual.
