The cause of death for Betty White has been revealed.
"She died of natural causes. Her death should not be politicized – that is not the life she lived," Witjas said.
White had one of the longest careers in television history and has become a national treasure over the years. She is best known for her "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "The Golden Girls" roles, both sitcoms which have been included on the list of the 101 Best Written TV Series of All Time by the Writers Guild of America.
TV host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres said White lived "an exceptional life." "I’m grateful for every second I got to spend with Betty White," she added. Before pursuing a career in acting, White had a passion for wildlife and the outdoors. She expressed in interviews throughout her career that she had wanted to become a forest ranger but at the time women were not allowed in the profession. It wasn’t until 2010 that the United States Forest Service made her an honorary ranger.
