Wyatt, whose real name was Windham Rotunda, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday evening, sending shockwaves through the wrestling world.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful has since divulged that Wyatt’s demise was the result of a heart attack as he had been dealing with cardiovascular issues that became worse when he got COVID-19 earlier this year.
Sapp noted that he was given permission to reveal said details by Rotunda’s family as they wanted clarification put out there.
