What was Eric Mumford's cause of death?

Lynn posted about Eric's passing on Instagram. There, she shared an image of the two sitting together alongside the caption "Eric Mumford BigE January 1, 1951 – December 23, 2022. I am in a million pieces." Unfortunately, Lynn did not specify what Eric's specific cause of death was.

In a 2012 op-ed for The Huffington Post, Lynn got candid about her relationship with Eric. She shared details about their early days and what manifested into a decades-long relationship.

After being born in Ohio on Jan. 1, 1951, he met Lynn in 1986. Eric was already a parent to four children from his previous marriage at that time, but Lynn took them in as her own. The duo went on to have two more children of their own.

Despite preceding over a divorce court, Lynn doesn't have all of the answers to relationship woes herself. She revealed in the op-ed that she and Eric, who she only ever referred to as Big E, "were off the road and deep in the weeds." Basically, Lynn cited issues in their communication style that were resolved when the couple took a year to reevaluate.

"We no longer act on that right-now feeling without considering long-term consequences," she said at the time. Later, she added, "We have made a conscious decision to be consciously married."

Our thoughts are with Eric's family and friends during this difficult time.
