Tom’s death was announced on Twitter by the Boone County Sheriff’s Office. He died in his home in Union, Ky.

Shortly after the baseball legend’s death, the Reds tweeted out a statement after being in contact with a member of his family.

“The entire Reds family is stunned and deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Tom Browning. Affectionately referred to as ‘Mr. Perfect,’ Tom was a true Red who after his playing days made the Cincinnati area his home and remained heavily involved with the organization,” the club said.

But what exactly caused Tom’s death? Here’s what we know.
