Carl Ruiz cause of death was made public after he died unexpectedly on September 21.

The autopsy report revealed that Carl Ruiz cause of death was a heart attack. He was a restaurant owner, and regular guest on Food Network shows.

According to a Maryland Department of Health source who spoke to TMZ, the Food Network celebrity passed away from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. 

According to the Mayo Clinic, the disorder leads to arterial hardening, a buildup of cholesterol and fat that forms plaque within artery walls and inhibits blood flow. The Maryland Department of Health was unavailable right away. 

Ruiz was 44 when he passed away and was a well-liked guest judge on several Guy Fieri’s Guy’s Ranch Kitchen and Guy’s Grocery Games Food Network cooking competition shows.

In 2013, when Fieri’s famous show Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives featured his New Jersey-based deli Marie’s Italian Specialties, he received his first significant break in front of the camera. 

In addition, he ran the well-known New York eatery La Cubana and hosted the Omg Carl’s Food Show YouTube series. 

La Cubana, a restaurant owned by Carl Ruiz, posted a tragic statement on social media on September 22, 2019. 

It stated, ‘Our sorrow over the unexpected death of our dear friend and brother cannot be adequately expressed in words. He was a powerful force of traditional Cuban cooking, and he also lived life to the fullest, just like he prepared, with the main ingredient being dancing always.’

Ruiz’s death came as a shock, and while his restaurant and family delayed disclosing the cause of death, his friend Matt Farah did, according to pop culture. ‘Ruiz died peacefully in his sleep following a suspected heart attack,’ he claimed. 

Fieri said in another tweet, ‘I’ve met a lot of wonderful people over the years, but a buddy like Carl is one in a million. Carl The Cuban Ruiz will always be in my heart and the hearts of everyone who loved him.’

I’m heartbroken that my friend chef Carl Ruiz is gone. I have no words to describe what a great friend he was to me and my family. His ability to make me laugh and smile under any circumstances was only outshined by his talent as a chef. pic.twitter.com/einY8qp7wf

La Cubana, a restaurant owned by Ruiz, has just recently opened. The restaurant announced on Instagram that it would set up The Carl Ruiz Scholarship Foundation to give young chefs financial support.

According to the sources, the investigation also found that Ruiz’s death was natural and that no foul play was involved. 

Tributes were paid to him on social media.

On Instagram, Farah paid him honor. Every time they were together, the following three things always occurred, ‘They laughed a lot while Ruiz taught him something incredibly fascinating and introduced them to fascinating people.’ 

‘His name and legacy will continue, as La Cubana has already stated, with their plans to launch The Carl Ruiz Scholarship Foundation, which will aid young chefs.’

Fieri posted a picture of Carl Ruiz and the caption, ‘I’m heartbroken that my friend chef Carl Ruiz is gone. I lack the words to adequately express what an incredible friend he was to my family and I. His skill as a chef was the only thing that could compare to how easily he could make me laugh and grin.’
