The cause of actress Betty White’s death on New Year’s Eve, at age 99, was a stroke she had suffered nearly a week earlier, a copy of the performer’s death certificate posted online by TMZ.com on Monday showed. <\/p>\n

The partially redacted certificate stated White’s cause of death as a “cerebrovascular accident,” a medical term for a stroke or the loss of blood flow to the brain caused by a clot or ruptured blood vessels, resulting in brain tissue damage. <\/p>\n

According to the document, issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the stroke occurred six days prior to White’s death. The health agency and the county Registrar-Recorder\/County Clerk’s office, where vital records are kept, both declined to comment. <\/p>\n

Jeff Witjas, White’s longtime agent, said in a statement: “Betty passed in her sleep peacefully without pain. To me this is the most important thing and brings me comfort as her dear friend. Anything else is private to Betty.” <\/p>\n

TMZ cited unnamed sources as saying White had remained alert and coherent following her stroke, before dying in her sleep at home. <\/p>\n

White, who remained a pop culture phenomenon well into her 90s, long after Emmy-winning roles on television sitcoms “The Golden Girls” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” died on Dec. 31 less than three weeks shy of her 100th birthday. <\/p>\n

Playing on her eminent likability and slightly naughty wit as America’s geriatric sweetheart, White was still starring in a television comedy, “Hot in Cleveland,” at age 92 until it was canceled in late 2014. <\/p>\n

She married her third and final husband, “Password” game show host Allen Ludden, in 1963. <\/p>\n
