Frank
Fritz’s
cause
of
death
has
been
confirmed.
The
American
Pickers
star,
who
died
Sept.
30
at
age
60,
passed
away
as
a
result
of
“late
sequela
of
cerebral
infarction,”
also
known
as
a
stroke,
according
to
a
death
certificate
obtained
by
TMZ.
According
to
the
outlet,
Fritz’s
fatal
stroke
was
caused
by
cerebral
vascular
disease,
which
causes
problems
with
blood
flow
in
the
brain.
The
reality
star
also
suffered
from
aortic
stenosis—which
affects
blood
flow
from
the
heart
to
the
rest
of
the
body—as
well
as
chronic
obstructive
pulmonary
disease,
both
of
which
also
contributed
to
his
death.
Fritz
appeared
on
the
History
Channel
series—which
saw
him
road
trip
across
America
collecting
rare
artifacts—for
over
a
decade
before
his
exit
was
confirmed
in
2021
amid
a
falling
out
between
him
and
his
co-star
Mike
Wolfe.
At
the
time,
Fritz
said
his
longtime
friend
didn’t
check
up
on
him
as
he
dealt
with
medical
problems.
