No she didn't, she died of brain damage. This cause of death tells us nothing, just like dying of old age did before it couldn't be used anymore. Our fucking failures of stroke associations should correct this travesty of a definition. Because if we don't know EXACTLY the cause of death, we can't figure out what needs to be done to prevent such deaths.
Betty White died of a stroke
Actress Betty White died after suffering a stroke six days prior, according to her death certificate.
The official cause of death listed on the Los Angeles County document obtained by CNN is cerebrovascular accident, the medical term for a stroke, when blood flow to the brain is blocked causing impairment due to lack of oxygen.
White died in her Los Angeles home early on New Year's Eve at the age of 99.
Best known for her roles on "The Golden Girls" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," White was a fan favorite, adored across generations.
A nationwide movie event will go on as planned on January 17th, to celebrate what would have been White's 100th birthday. The film, to be shown at 900 theaters nationwide, will follow White's day-to-day life, highlighting her work and fervent advocacy for animals.
White's funeral will be a private.
