Gary Rhodes died from a subdural hematoma, which is bleeding between the skull and the brain usually caused by a head injury. He collapsed at his home in Dubai after a day of shooting for ITV and was rushed to hospital but unfortunately passed away due to this brain bleed. His family confirmed this cause of death to end speculation, stating he was in a happy mood before collapsing at home with his wife by his side. It was also reported that he likely slipped and hit his head just before the incident leading to the fatal hemorrhage.
