American Pickers Star Frank Fritz’s Cause of Death

American Pickers star Frank Fritz is revealed to have died from the effects of the debilitating stroke he suffered in July 2022 that reportedly left him wheelchair-bound.

Ahead of his passing, the reality star was previously diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, which TMZ reported ‘may have [also] played a role’ in his death at age 60 on Monday. 

Crohn’s disease is a long-term inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

According to Mayo Clinic, Crohn’s disease ‘can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition’ as well as other complications like kidney stones.

Fritz’s representative confirmed his cause of death to the outlet.

This comes after one of Fritz’s longtime friends, Annette Oberlander, revealed Fritz died at a hospice facility in Davenport, Iowa, to The Associated Press.
