When Triple H shared the news that Bray Wyatt had died yesterday evening, speculation inevitably started running rampant about the cause of the WWE Superstar's death. It's a shame that's what some people chose to focus on, though it was perhaps inevitable after months of conflicting reports in the dirt sheets.
Much has been said about Bray being sidelined due to a mysterious illness, with some claiming he was just weeks away from stepping back into the ring.
Now, clarification has been shared by Bray's family, dismissing claims that he took his own life or was in an accident. Instead, it sounds like the former WWE Champion had heart issues that were made worse by COVID, resulting in him tragically suffering a heart attack yesterday.
The last time we saw Wyatt on television was in a pre-taped backstage promo on the February 27 edition of RAW in which he taunted his planned WrestleMania opponent Bobby Lashley.
His final match took place the day before in a non-televised WWE Live Event against LA Knight in Rockford, Illinois.
Since the news of Bray's passing was shared, WWE has updated its website to confirm that any sales of his merchandise will now benefit his fiancee JoJo Offerman and his four children. Many items have already sold out but you can find the remaining in-stock offerings by clicking here.
The world of professional wrestling has suffered a massive loss but that pales in comparison to what his family is going through. Needless to say, our thoughts go out to them during what's sure to be an incredibly difficult time.
