An official cause of death has surfaced this week for AEW wrestler Pac.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office has determined that Pac died due to bronchial asthma, Edward Lewis of The California Post reported on Friday. Lewis adds that the manner of Pac’s death has officially been ruled as “natural” (with the determination being made after a formal investigation into the British wrestler’s passing).
Pac, whose real name was Benjamin Satterley, died late last month at the age of 40. He first debuted as a pro wrestler back in 2004 and wrestled in WWE from 2012-18.
Eventually, Pac joined AEW (All Elite Wrestling) in 2019. He was the inaugural winner of the AEW International Championship in 2022 and also won three other title belts while wrestling on the AEW circuit.
On Sept. 27, AEW made the heartbreaking announcement that Pac had died. Notably, Pac had wrestled in his final match just one day before his death.
A few days later, we learned some additional details about Pac’s death (including that he had been found dead in his car at a restaurant parking lot). Now a few weeks later, a formal cause of death has emerged for the veteran wrestler.
