Paul Reubens passed away due to complications arising from respiratory failure after the cancer had spread to his lungs…

According to the information on Paul Reubens’ passing certificate, the legendary actor and star of the cult film “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure,” who passed away in July at the age of 70, was battling leukemia.

According to the autopsy report, Reubens passed away of acute hypoxic respiratory failure, which means that his lungs were unable to produce the necessary amount of oxygen. It is most probable that he developed that condition as a result of his cancer, which, according to the passing certificate, had also spread to his lungs.

On the passing certificate, his malignancy was referred to as acute myelogenous leukemia, which is a type of leukemia that not only affects the blood but also the bone marrow.

In a statement that was issued on July 31 following Reubens’ passing, his family noted that he had been “bravely and privately” battled illness for years “with his trademark tenacity and wit.” Before this, Reubens had not disclosed that he had been diagnosed with cancer.

The reason of Reubens’ passing was first revealed by The Blast.

According to the information on the passing certificate, Reubens’ body was cremated, and his ashes will be placed in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.

The actor most known for his role in “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” also had roles in “Batman Returns,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Matilda,” “Mystery Men,” “Blow,” “Buddy,” and “Dunston Checks In.” He apologized for his illness in a letter that was made public after his passing and said that he had been diagnosed with cancer in 2017.

Reubens is quoted as saying, “I have always felt an enormous amount of love and respect from my friends, fans, and supporters.” “I have loved each and every one of you so very much, and I have enjoyed creating art for you.”
