Fernando Valenzuela, the legendary Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher who played a pivotal role in the team's 1981 World Series victory, died of septic shock at the age of 63, as stated on his death certificate obtained by TMZ. The document also revealed underlying conditions such as decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis cirrhosis, and a potential rare brain disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Valenzuela passed away on October 22, shortly after leaving his role as a Spanish-language broadcaster for the Dodgers. His funeral was held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, and he was cremated. Valenzuela, remembered for 'Fernandomania' and his impact on Latino fans, was a six-time All-Star and won both the Cy Young and Rookie of the Year awards in 1981. His legacy is celebrated with a mural in Boyle Heights, commemorating his contributions to baseball and his lasting influence in the community.
