Betty White died from a stroke she had six days before her Dec. 31 death at age 99, according to her death certificate.

The cause of death was provided by White’s doctor, as is typical in such cases. The certificate says White was cremated. The beloved “Golden Girls” and “Mary Tyler Moore Show” actor died less than three weeks before her 100th birthday.
