The unfortunate news of Bruno Sammartino’s death was revealed last week, however, at that time not much details about The Legend’s passing were available.

In the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, his various medical conditions were discussed in details, and it also reveals the cause of his death.

According to the Newsletter, the 82-year-old died after multiple organ failure due to heart issues. The heart issues date back to the time when Bruno was only 12 years old and it got damaged when he suffered rheumatic fever.

In recent years, the Hall Of Famer was having issues with his leg due to the damage that was done to his body during his wrestling days. A few years ago he also found out that one of his valves weren’t functioning well.

In normal conditions, the people suffering from similar heart issues as the former Champion are not expected to live past 60 years. However, Sammartino’s dedication to training compensated for his damaged heart and it’s believed to have added years to his life.

This once again shows that Bruno Sammartino was an inspiration not only inside but outside of the ring as well and losing him is probably the greatest loss of the pro wrestling industry till now.
