How did he die?

On July 12, Mr. Wonderful’s son Travis Orndorff confirmed his father’s death after battling dementia and head trauma.

“I am very sad to announce the death of my father Paul Parlette Orndorff Jr,” Travis wrote.

“He is better known as” Mr. #1derful” Paul Orndorf. Most people will remember him because of his physique. Many people will remember his strength. But it would be nice if I could let you understand and see his heart.

“He will always be daddy, daddy and daddy. Although many of you hate him for being a wrestler, he absolutely loves you.

“He is a great father, he showed me more love than I deserved. I love your dad.”

He explained that his father had been fighting with dementia, which he believed was caused by chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

This happens when someone suffers repeated head trauma; however, a diagnosis can only be made after someone dies.

It is unclear whether an autopsy has been performed.
