REPORT: WWE’s Bray Wyatt Died Taking a Nap and Never Woke Up; Wasn’t Wearing Recommended Heart Defibrillator
The pro wrestling world and the WWE Universe were rocked last Thursday when the news spread like wildfire that Bray Wyatt (real name Windham Rotunda) passed away at the age of 36. The following night on WWE Friday Night SmackDown on Fox, a moving tribute was held in his honor.
Last week, initial reports surfaced that Bray died of a heart attack after being very ill in recent months after contracting Covid-19 in March of 2023. His family shared, he had developed heart complications causing him to have a “weak lower part of the heart.”
Now, according to a new report from TMZ, and the outlets obtaining of law enforcement records, a doctor-recommended heart defibrillator was not with the wrestler when they found his body.
According to law enforcement, Wyatt’s girlfriend, JoJo Offerman, said he was going to take a nap Thursday, and that she became “concerned when she heard his alarm going off about an hour later without stopping. Windham was discovered in his bed, not breathing, and was turning blue.
Offferman called 911 and Windham’s mother attempted CPR. However, later he was pronounced dead at the hospital. The report goes on to say that doctors advised that he should continue to wear an external heart defibrillator, which is a device designed to treat people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. He was not wearing it the time of his death and the device was later located inside his vehicle parked in this driveway.
Sadly, the pro wrester had a doctors appointment scheduled the morning of the day he passed away.
What are your thoughts on the new information that has come to light on the circumstances that led to the death of WWE superstar Bray Wyatt? Comment below.
Notice how they frame it? Heat condition caused by Covid. He was probably fully vaccinated and boosted
Heat?
Actually, he had a previous heart issue that was exacerbated by getting COVID, which is one of the many potential long-term complications that can result from COVID. It was literally in the initial article about his death, if you took a few seconds to actually know what you’re talking about before making an ignorant statement.
But of course, you anti-vax people know better than the actual doctors that have a medical degree and do this stuff for a living..
No. He had heart issues prior to being sick. His grandfather died from complications of a heart attack. His uncle is still recovering from his second heart attack.
(i’m a nurse,) fully vaccinated & boosted is still not going to stop him (or anyone else) from getting covid (it will stop you from dying, but, his heart was already weakened as we knew)

As for Lloyd, he will portray, reclusive writer Larry Arbuckle, who is to have had a rather famous grandfather. In the episode, Hall and Lloyd’s character intersect, which leads to onscreen sparks.

So I got this offer, and I was like, ‘Yes, I would love to be in a soap opera,’ and we finished Spring Awakening at 11:00 p.m. and I woke up the next morning at 4:0 a.m. to walk uptown to go to do One Life to Live, and I called my agent and left a message, and I said ‘You have to get me out of this, I can’t wake up at 4 o’clock in the morning!'” You can watch the clip below.
The 77th annual Tony Awards will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, June 16, with Tony and Oscar winner Ariana DeBose returning to host for the third time.
