A look into MLB legend’s final days"},"content":{"rendered":"

Cincinnati Reds legend Pete Rose passed away on Monday at his home in Las Vegas due to a serious heart condition, according to a statement from a Nevada coroner on Tuesday.<\/p>

83-year-old Rose, monikered Charlie Hustle<\/a>, had been dealing with hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This condition makes the blood vessels thicker and less flexible, causing the heart to strain as it circulates oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.<\/p>

Melanie Rouse, the coroner from Clark County, Nevada, confirmed the cause of death. This type of heart condition is quite common, affecting nearly half of Americans over 45, and it often worsens with age.<\/p>

Pete Rose’s health has recently declined, as people saw him in a wheelchair during his last public appearance on Sunday at a sports memorabilia show in Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>

Back in 2018, Pete Rose openly admitted to his health issues<\/h2>

Back in 2018, Rose openly admitted to his health issues when his attorneys revealed in court filings related to his divorce that he was “in poor health and disabled.<\/em>” They also noted that Rose had difficulty walking, was on blood thinners, and had undergone three heart procedures in five years.<\/p>
