The family confirmed his death on Instagram on Friday, saying, “While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and at peace.”
Chuck Norris cause of death update
The cause of death has not been confirmed by the Norris family or any official authority. However, there were several claims among fans that the actor might have suffered a heart attack. Some also claim that the 86-year-old man was hospitalized after episodes of myocardial infarction in 2017.
There is no official confirmation that Chuck Norris ever suffered a heart attack – either recently or in 2017. No credible report, medical record, news article or statement by Chuck Norris, his family or his representatives supports such claims.
In late 2017 and early 2018, several fake news-style websites and bait sites—especially in non-English languages—spread hoax stories such as “Chuck Norris Suffers Massive Heart Attack” and “Chuck Norris in Critical Condition After Heart Attack”. However, no major US or international news outlet reported any such incident.
