Bob Mackie's Death Certificate Reveals Fatal Head Trauma, Not Pneumonia
Bob Mackie, the legendary fashion designer known for dressing Cher and Carol Burnett, died at 87 from a subarachnoid hemorrhage and blunt head trauma, contradicting earlier reports that cited pneumonia. His death certificate, obtained by Us Weekly, indicates he suffered a fall on September 11 at the home of his design director, Joseph McFate. Mackie died three days later at Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs. While his representatives initially attributed his passing to pneumonia, they later clarified that he suffered from the illness both before and after the fall. His remains were cremated on September 17 and scattered at sea off the coast of San Diego County. Tributes from Cher and Carol Burnett highlighted his unique ability to blend fashion and costume design, cementing his status as an icon of Hollywood glamour.
