The world lost icon Betty White just before the New Year. She passed away at 99 years old on New Year’s Eve, just weeks before her 100th birthday on Jan. 17. Meanwhile, her special birthday documentary will still be aired as a tribute. Now, a medical examiner has confirmed that her cause of death was a cerebrovascular accident.

Betty reportedly suffered from a stroke 6 days before her death. A cerebrovascular accident is a loss of blood flow to part of the brain, resulting in brain tissue damage. TMZ reported the cause of death from her death certificate. This can be caused by blood clots or broken blood vessels in the brain.
