Bob Barker’s death was a result of his battle with Alzheimer’s disease, according to TMZ.
The “Price is Right” icon, who died last month, had never publicly addressed his battle with the disease.
While it’s unclear when he was first diagnosed, his death certificate indicates that his passing came “years” after his Alzheimer’s began, according to the outlet.
Barker notably teamed up with PETA in 2013 for a campaign which highlighted how a vegetarian diet could help prevent the brain disorder.
The news comes just over a week after Page Six confirmed that the game show host had died at the age of 99.
“It is with profound sadness that we announce that the World’s Greatest MC who ever lived, Bob Barker has left us,” his rep told us.

Along with his decades-long career, a spokesperson for CBS added that “Bob will be remembered as a dedicated animal rights activist.”
“Daytime television has lost one of its most iconic stars,” they said in a statement.
“During his 35 years as host of ‘The Price Is Right’ Bob made countless people’s dreams come true and everyone feel like a winner when they were called to ‘come on down.’”
According to TMZ, who was the first to report the news, Barker died peacefully at his home in Los Angeles.
