Brian Wilson’s Cause of Death Revealed

Two weeks after the death of Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys legend’s cause of death has been revealed.

According to the American CPR Care Association, respiratory arrest “occurs when a person’s breathing completely ceases, leading to a lack of oxygen in the body. In addition to the respiratory arrest, sepsis, and cystitis, the autopsy found that Wilson also suffered from several more health issues at the time of his death, including obstructive sleep apnea, chronic kidney disease, chronic respiratory failure, and neurodegenerative disorder; in February 2024, Wilson’s family revealed that the singer was suffering from dementia. “The world mourns a genius today, and we grieve for the loss of our cousin, our friend, and our partner in a great musical adventure,” the Beach Boys wrote in a statement.
