WWE announced the passing of

Bray Wyat

t, the reigning World Wrestling Champion (WWE) known as "The Fiend," on Thursday. His final appearance in the ring was at the 2023 Royal Rumble. Despite his absence from competition since January, reports indicated he was on the brink of making a comeback. Sadly, his plans to return were interrupted by a severe illness, which he was diligently addressing to safeguard his long-term well-being.

A recent study conducted by the Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology has uncovered that the dengue virus exhibits heightened lethality under elevated temperatures.

News has circulated that Bray Wyatt was showing substantial improvement and had received medical clearance to resume wrestling. Tributes have begun to pour in for the former WWE Champion. The Miz tweeted, "Today, the world lost someone special. Bray Wyatt's ability to weave stories in the ring and his unparalleled creativity held audiences captivated. I will miss Windham Rotunda's joyful spirit and infectious laughter the most. My prayers are with the Rotunda family. Rest in peace, my friend."

The exact cause of Bray Wyatt's unexpected demise remains undisclosed according to the WWE website, though media outlets suggest it might have been due to a heart attack. The Daily Mail, citing Fightful, reported, "WWE superstar Bray Wyatt passed away at the age of 36 after reportedly suffering a heart attack."

"I can confirm that earlier this year, Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) contracted COVID, which aggravated his heart issues. He was making positive strides toward recovery and a return. Unfortunately, today he experienced a heart attack and passed away," Sean Ross Sapp tweeted on X.

Bray Wyatt, survived by his fiancée WWE ring announcer JoJo and their two children, as well as ex-wife Samantha Rotunda and their two daughters, was only 36 years old.

Heart attack occurrences among young adults are on the rise, with fatalities documented in individuals in their 30s and 40s. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that nearly 18 million lives are claimed annually due to various cardiovascular incidents, with heart attacks being the leading cause. The aftermath of the COVID pandemic has witnessed an uptick in such incidents. Medical experts remain divided over whether COVID is a direct contributor to heart issues or if it is linked to the vaccination process.

Recognizing the early signs of the disease and understanding the associated risk factors are crucial. Symptoms of a heart attack include central chest pain or discomfort, pain or discomfort in the arms, left shoulder, elbows, jaw, or back. Additional signs such as numbness on one side of the face, arm, or leg, confusion, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, visual impairment, difficulty walking, dizziness, loss of balance, severe unexplained headaches, fainting, or unconsciousness can also manifest during a heart attack. Unhealthy dietary habits, excessive salt intake, sedentary lifestyle, and stress are common risk factors contributing to heart attacks in young adults today.
