Bob Barker’s Cause of Death Revealed

Bob Barker‘s death was a result of Alzheimer’s disease. TMZ, who obtained the late Price Is Right host’s death certificate, revealed the news on Tuesday. Barker was 99 at the time of his death on Aug. 26. ET has reached out to the TV personality’s rep for comment.

Last month in a statement to ET, Barker’s longtime publicist, Roger Neal, said, “It is with profound sadness that we announce that the World’s Greatest MC who ever lived, Bob Barker, has left us.”

Neal also said that, per Barker’s request, there will be no funeral or memorial service held in his honor. He’ll be laid to rest next to his wife, Dorothy Jo, at Forest Lawn Memorial Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills. Jo died in 1981.

Later, in an interview with ET, Neal reflected on Barker’s legacy.

“I think he leaves a legacy from television that will not be matched, will not be duplicated. I think he leaves a legacy for the animals. I think if animals could talk they would all be applauding Bob Barker today,” he shared. “… I think he’s one of those people who took that platform that he had, the celebrity that he had, and used it for absolute good to make the world a better place. I think the world is a much better place having had Bob Barker in it.”
