The cause of Bruno Bersot’s death has been revealed after the surfing legend died suddenly.
Bersot, who lived in Maroubra, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, died on Tuesday, leaving behind his wife and two children.
The much-loved father-of-two was a popular figure in Sydney’s surfing community and his death has been widely mourned.
It has since been revealed that Bersot had been suffering from what he thought was a minor back injury without knowing that he actually had a blood clot in his heart.
The blood clot traveled to his brain, causing Bersot to suffer a fatal stroke, leaving his family devastated.

Surfing legend died unexpectedly and suddenly this week
Tributes have poured in for the talented surfer who is believed to have been born in Brazil before moving to Australia and is honored as a beloved ‘Bra Boy’ and a Maroubra legend.
‘We send love to all our Brazilian Bra Boy family and the Bersot family. “Bruno was My Brothers Keeper in action, devastated for all of you,” read a post on a page associated with the Bra Boys.
Bersot’s son Lucas described him as the “most beautiful dad” in the world in a heartbreaking post.
‘He fought long and hard for everyone he loved. I don’t even know what to write about because it still doesn’t seem real that someone so loved by everyone has died. I have lost the energy to cry. “I’m really speechless,” he wrote.
‘Dad, I love you so much that there won’t be a single second of my life that I won’t be thinking about you.
‘I’m going to miss the time we shared in the water and our daily activities. I know you would want us to be strong and move on with our lives and it will be hard, but we will continue to make you proud. You will forever be in our hearts.
He had previously complained of back pain, but it was actually a blood clot.
“I really wish today wasn’t the last time I could hug you, but you will always be by my side. I know you will be in heaven surfing the best waves and having the best time with your mom and dad. Heaven gained a beautiful angel today .’
Bersot’s other son, Mateus, said he had lost his “superhero.”
“There are no words to explain how I feel and how much I miss you,” he wrote, alongside a series of family photos.
‘You are my best friend and I can’t thank you enough for teaching me everything I know in surfing and outside of surfing. I love you forever.’
