Bray Wyatt Passes Away at 36

More details from TMZ. I guess it’ll always be a “what if?” in terms of his life, but given this news I would imagine his in-ring career was done anyway.

WWE superstar Bray Wyatt experienced a series of heart complications in the months leading up to his death, and a doctor-recommended heart defibrillator was not with him when they found his body ... TMZ has learned. According to law enforcement records, obtained by TMZ, Wyatt -- real name Windham Rotunda -- told his girlfriend he was going to take a nap Thursday, and she became concerned when she heard his alarm going off about an hour later without stopping. The report says Windham was discovered in his bed, not breathing, and was turning blue. Windham's girlfriend called 911, as her mother attempted CPR ... but he was later pronounced dead at the hospital. Cops spoke with Windham's immediate family members who said he had COVID in March 2023 and developed heart complications -- causing him to have a "weak lower part of his heart." In fact, just a week before he died, Windham was hospitalized for a heart issue. He had a follow-up appointment with doctors the morning he died and was advised to continue to wear an external heart defibrillator -- a device designed to treat people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Though it's not known if the device would have saved his life, investigators determined Windham was not wearing the defib at the time of his death ... they later located it inside his vehicle parked in the driveway. He was only 36.

His in ring career would definitely be done after that, or you would hope. Hopefully he didn't have any plans of trying to continue wrestling after all those issues.

Does make you wonder what would've happened if he had his defibrillator on. Would it have been enough to save him?

Crazy how he literally met with the doctor that same morning (and sounds like they only gave him the defibrillator that same day), so perhaps he wasn't even thinking of putting it on just yet, or maybe was planning on doing so later that same day. Not like you'd expect something that drastic to happen within hours.

Tony Khan is letting any talent miss Dynamite to attend Wyatt's funeral/services.

It was a shock listening to this news. He was such a great performer and has made a great impact in his short WWE career. Even in his NXT days, he looked a star and he proved himself as a top notch WWE superstar at the very top level.

You never think about it how kids of superstars might have met/known each other since they were kids, even if they might not be best friends or anything, it's still someone you've known for decades.
