Bauza voiced Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, along with hundreds of other characters. He died at home from hypertensive cardiovascular disease
Another major VA dead. Wtf.
I believe this man was Canadian and it was a big honour for him to take on those roles voicing multiple characters alone like the original Mel Blanc.
This is very tragic and honestly avoidable. My heart goes out to his family and everyone.

Y’all, if you’re struggling with hypertension or high blood pressure, get medicated, exercise, and eat right. Holy fucking shit, god fucking damn it.
He’s of Filipino descent. Heart disease is the leading cause of death of Filipinos. Every Filipino I know has high blood pressure.
While Filipinos living in Philippines have a difficult time obtaining health care, health education, and access (to things like maintenance medication), he’s not living in the Philippines. He most definitely had access to healthcare and medications. A darn shame for sure.
He most definitely had access to healthcare and medications.
Pills and doctors really do fuck all against genetics.
Seriously, I have been medicated for a few years now and been working hard to get diet and exercise right.
It’s such a big deal and absolutely can and will kill you. He was only a year older than me!
His voice will be dearly missed! He truly was one of the modern voice acting greats, a massive loss to the voice acting industry.
You have no idea how he was trying to deal with these problems. People can respond with all that and still die, but here at Lemmy we like to blame people who have disease.
Was more of a general reminder for everyone else in the world who may still be alive and dealing with this. Not reprimanding Bauza, obviously.
This dude was so talented. If you haven’t a video of him, this is a good one from him at the Emmy’s: https://youtu.be/pKJB_5_2iDA
Wtaf. RIP
