how did bernie parent died

Bernie Parent died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 80. Former teammate Joe Watson said Parent was in significant pain due to chronic back problems but died overnight in his sleep. No specific cause of death beyond this has been publicly disclosed. Parent had sustained back problems that limited his mobility in his final years and had also suffered an earlier injury from a hockey stick that ended his career. He passed away at his home in Avalon, New Jersey, leaving behind a legacy as a hockey legend who led the Philadelphia Flyers to two Stanley Cup titles in the 1970s.
