According to his death certificate, Bob Barker, the beloved host of The Price Is Right, passed away last month due to Alzheimer’s disease. The document reveals that Barker had been battling the disease for a number of years, although specific details are not provided, as reported by People. In addition to Alzheimer’s, Barker’s death was also attributed to hypertension (high blood pressure), hypothyroidism, hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), and “other significant conditions.” On August 26, just four months away from his 100th birthday, Barker passed away at his home in the Hollywood Hills. According to his longtime friend Nancy Burnet, Barker remained engaged and active, participating in conversations and exercises up until two months prior to his death, according to NBC News.
In honor of Bob Barker, The Price Is Right aired a special tribute on Thursday, showcasing “an hour of Barker’s greatest accomplishments, his love for his contestants, his animal advocacy, and memorable moments on the show,” according to People. Host Drew Carey referred to Barker as a “legend” who hosted The Price Is Right for 35 years and Truth or Consequences for 18 years. Carey also acknowledged Barker’s earlier careers as a radio host and a naval aviator during World War II. In describing Barker’s legacy, Carey aptly stated, “it couldn’t be more appropriate when you think about Bob’s time on The Price Is Right.” Barker was a master of the game and retired at the pinnacle of his career, just as all legends should.
