Betty White’s cause of death has been confirmed as a stroke that occurred six days before her death, according to reports.

Wyatt, the Golden Girls actress, passed away on New Year’s Eve at the age of 99, just weeks before her 100th birthday and the news sent shockwaves around the world.

TMZ claims that the cause of her death was listed as a cerebrovascular accident, the official term for stroke. She later died peacefully in her sleep in her home.

A stroke is a serious, life-threatening medical condition that occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is cut off.

It is a medical emergency and urgent treatment is essential. The sooner a person receives treatment for a stroke, the less damage is likely.

White is best known for starring as Rose on the 1980s sitcom Golden Girls.

She has also appeared in popular American sitcoms including Hot In Cleveland, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Betty White Show and Life With Elizabeth during her career spanning more than 80 years.

Many stars paid tribute to White after the news of her death, including Dolly Parton.

“While watching the news last night, I learned of Betty White’s death,” she stated.

Betty will live forever not only in this world but the world beyond. I will always love her as we will all love her! “

Ryan Reynolds, who starred with White in the 2009 rom-com The Proposal, was also praised after the pair shared a long friendship and pleasant courtship.
