(AP Photo/Ron Frehm, File) Credit: AP Documents obtained by TMZ say the official cause of death is listed as respiratory arrest — a condition in which the heart keeps beating but the lungs stop working, making it impossible to take in oxygen. Sepsis and cystitis, both linked to infections, were also noted as contributing factors. The document also listed a range of associated health problems including a neurodegenerative disorder, obstructive sleep apnea, chronic respiratory failure, and chronic kidney disease. Brian's family had previously revealed he was suffering from a 'major neurocognitive disorder' — a degenerative illness similar to dementia — which left him 'unable to properly provide for his [...] personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter', according to court docs. The heartbreaking update comes just weeks after his family announced his passing, writing: 'They were heartbroken and asking for privacy during this difficult time.' Wilson co-founded the Beach Boys and led the band during its early chart-topping years, before the group famously imploded amid personal and creative tensions. His final performance was in Michigan in July 2022, where he closed out a summer tour by playing hits like Surfin' USA — a track that helped propel the Beach Boys into international stardom. His death follows another devastating loss — his wife Melinda passed away in 2024. Shortly after, his family filed for a conservatorship to manage his affairs. More to follow...
