Kyle Busch battled sepsis for only a day before blood clots led to hemorrhaging, blood loss and, ultimately, death, according to the death certificate obtained by Us Weekly after the NASCAR legend’s death.
Busch, 41, died on May 21 after being rushed to the hospital when he was found unresponsive inside a race simulator near Charlotte, North Carolina. It was later revealed that the married father of two was battling pneumonia, which led to sepsis.

Sepsis, a life-threatening reaction to an infection, caused Busch’s blood to clot, which impeded his organs, according to Us Weekly. As a result, Busch went into hemorrhagic shock.
