ESPN Reporter Edward Aschoff's Cause of Death Revealed

Edward Aschoff, an ESPN reporter who frequently appeared on air, passed away last month at the young age of 34 and his fiancee, Katy Berteau, is now revealing his cause of death.

Originally, it was reported that he passed away suddenly from Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) caused by complications due to a bad bout of pneumonia.

After a biopsy of his lungs, it’s been revealed that there was something else going on.

“After his passing, the hospital received the final results from his lung biopsy. Unbeknownst to us, Edward had stage 4, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in his lungs. This is an aggressive type of cancer that is usually undetectable until it is very advanced,” Katy posted from Edward‘s Twitter handle. “Both pneumonia and non-Hodgkins lymphoma can trigger HLH in the body and that is seemingly what happened with Edward. All of this combined is what led to his very rapid decline those last few days, and ultimately his passing.”

“I hope this information helps people in dealing with this tragedy. It has helped me knowing that his passing was inevitable, and I’m at least grateful he didn’t have to go through the painful treatment and drawn out process of battling the disease,” she added.

Our continued thoughts are with Edward‘s loved ones.
