The Iron Sheik’s cause of death has been revealed.
Sheik tragically passed away last month at the age of 81, but no cause of death was initially announced.
Now, TMZ Sports has obtained the WWE Hall of Famer’s death certificate and reported that he died of cardiac arrest. This manner of death was ruled to be natural. Officials stated that Sheik suffered from congestive heart failure as well as hypertension prior to his passing.
Sheik was a former WWF Champion and a WWE Hall Of Famer and was regarded by many as one of the top heels of his generation.
We continue to wish his family the best during this trying time.
