Bob Barker’s cause of death has been made public. The TV legend and longtime host of “The Price Is Right” host, died from Alzheimer’s disease, according to media reports.
Barker, who passed away at age 99 in late August, suffered from Alzheimer’s, according to his death certificate. At the time his death was first announced on Aug. 26, Barker’s longtime publicist Roger Neal told TheWrap that Barker died of natural causes in his Hollywood Hills home.
Barker never publicly revealed nor acknowledged his diagnosis, and it’s unknown how long he had battled the disease.
“It is with profound sadness that we announce that the World’s Greatest MC who ever lived, Bob Barker has left us,” Neal said in a statement sent to TheWrap at the time, also sharing a statement on behalf of Barker’s longtime companion Nancy Burnet.
