What’s the reason for the death of Barbara?

Whitney Thore mentioned her mother’s dementia, hemorrhages, and strokes over the years which is her current death reason. She on continuing to highlight the disease said,

“My mother died last night just as the credits rolled on her favorite movie. My mom had cerebral amyloid angiopathy, which is an untreatable progressive condition caused by proteins in the blood vessels of the brain that can cause dementia, seizures, or like in my mom’s case, brain bleeding (hemorrhagic strokes).”

Whitney revealed her mom had died of cerebral amyloid angiopathy as she added,

When mom had her first stroke in 2017, we were told of this and we knew that more strokes would eventually be inevitable. Mom’s second stroke was December 28, 2021 and her last was November 13, 2022.
