Nothing works harder in a summer wardrobe than a great skirt and a comfortable pair of sneakers. The combination feels effortless, keeps you cool on hot days and somehow always looks more polished than shorts and a T-shirt, whether you’re heading to brunch, the farmers market or a weekend getaway.

If your skirt collection could use an update, Amazon has plenty of affordable options worth adding to cart. We found 17 of the most wearable styles, including flowy maxis, pretty floral picks and versatile midis that look just as good with classic sneakers as they do with sandals and heels. The best part? They start at just $10.

17 Summer Skirts From Amazon That Pair Perfectly With Sneakers

1. Our Favorite: The tiered ruffle hem on this flowy white maxi gives it real movement, and the drawstring elastic waist means no zipper to fuss with. It’s selling fast on Amazon for good reason.

2. Bubble Beauty: The bubble hem on this puffy maxi skirt gives it real sculptural shape, and yes, it has pockets. The elastic waist keeps it comfortable through long dinners.

3. Really Romantic: This flared maxi skirt features an elastic high waist so you skip the fit drama. The pleated chiffon catches the breeze beautifully, and the A-line cut flatters most shapes.

4. Deal Alert: Trying a print you’re not sure about gets easier at $10. This leopard midi skirt is a low-risk way to test the trend, especially since it has a pull-on elastic waist that works with your body rather than against it.

5. Pretty Polka Dots: Style this polka dot midi with a black tank and white sneakers for lunch, then add heels for date night. The satin-like material catches light in all the right ways.

As temperatures climb, chunky sweaters and jackets are swapped out for lighter layers. While it’s not a major change, some summer tops overcomplicate things with tight sleeves, stiff fabrics and revealing cuts that highlight areas you’d rather keep low-key. That’s why the best course of action is to opt for easy, effortless, flowy tops that […]

6. Satin Stunner: This flowy satin midi is cut in a way that drapes cleanly without clinging, and the high waist helps to define your shape. It’s the opposite of a showy bodycon thanks to the A-line shape.

8. Comfy Choice: The handkerchief hemline on this flowy midi skirt adds visual interest without bulk. The asymmetric cut moves well and skims the legs in flattering ways.

9. Gorgeous Gingham: This black gingham skirt proves the print can feel incredibly chic, especially in a long silhouette. The fact that it has pockets? Even better.

10. Boho Beauty: Wear this colorful boho maxi with a white tank and tan sandals for a vacation dinner, or sneakers for a museum day. The pockets are a convenient detail you don’t always find in similar styles.

11. High-Low Hem: The high-low hem on this floral boho maxi shows leg without committing to a short skirt. The elastic waist and ruffles keep the silhouette soft.

12. Floral Fun: This high-waist floral maxi is an easy, throw-on-and-go piece, but it still feels effortlessly polished. Somehow, it pairs perfectly with almost any top, whether you’re opting for a graphic tee or a fancy, flowy something.

14. Farmer’s Market-Ready: With its flowy A-line shape and relaxed elastic waist, Zesica’s boho floral maxi delivers that easy, pulled-together feel. The breezy print adds to the charm.

15. Everyday Essential: A drawstring waist and soft ruffle hem give this high-waist mini skirt a playful yet elevated feel. It’s just as comfortable as it is easy to style.

16. Sporty-Chic: Rock this sporty mini skirt with sneakers and a fitted tank for a morning walk or coffee run. The spandex-blend material moves like leggings but looks more pulled-together.

17. Darling Denim: Create a classic weekend look by wearing Levi’s mini skirt with white sneakers and a white tee. Headed out for the night? Some sandals and a silky tank will instantly dress it up.

It’s not shaping up to be a good year for “Star Wars.” Although the animated series “Maul – Shadow Lord” earned rave reviews from critics and fans alike, many questioned why the Disney+ series “The Mandalorian” needed to head to the big screen, especially considering that “Star Wars: Starfighter” will hit theaters in less than a year from now. Although the movie failed to perform at the box office, it’s possible that Lucasfilm can still turn this into a win.

‘Star Wars’ Might Make A Fortune In Merchandising

On paper, it does make at least a little bit of sense. People who are not familiar with “Star Wars” probably know who Grogu – ahem, Baby Yoda – is. After all, the little green guy is everywhere. He’s on everything from T-shirts to throw blankets. He even popped up at Build-A-Bear, where fans can dress him in a little Grogu onesie or get him a frog wristlet before he decides to, you know, eat it.

Merchandising has always been the backbone of the “Star Wars” economy, and so it makes sense that Lucasfilm would want to take this opportunity to partner with as many brands as possible to get the name out there. The Republic of Tea is now selling at least three different tea tins. Bath & Body Works is selling everything from candles to cologne in “Force Flow” and “Bounty Hunter” scents. And don’t even get me started with whatever’s going on at Burger King.

‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Was Never A Story For The Big Screen

The problem is, “The Mandalorian” has always been a TV show. While the first two seasons were well-received, the third one got bogged down by lore and pointless cameos (did we really need Lizzo and Jack Black in the same episode?) The show was already crumbling before they decided to turn it into a movie, and not a very good one at that.

“The Mandalorian and Grogu” felt like three episodes stitched together, and while that wouldn’t matter if they were good episodes, this feels like a pointless side quest in their overall story. Both Din Djarin (the titular Mandalorian) and Grogu basically end up right back where they started, except now Din has a shiny new ship. There’s no tease of a bigger threat on the horizon. There’s no major character growth. Overall, the movie is pretty inconsequential in the long run.

And that honestly might be fine for kids who just want to see Din Djarin beat up the bad guys (there’s a lot of that in this film). But it doesn’t contribute anything more to the franchise. It looks like a “Star Wars” film. It sounds like a “Star Wars” film. But it lacks the soul and character of the other films that really make them magical. Trust me – I just watched the sequel to “Zootopia” last night, and kids’ movies can absolutely have heart and eye-rolling slapstick comedy that was meant for five-year-olds.

‘Star Wars’ Is All Anyone’s Talking About

But if Lucasfilm put out “The Mandalorian and Grogu” just hoping that they were going to get “Star Wars” back on everyone’s minds, they’ve certainly done that. The press coverage about how this movie absolutely bombed at the box office has been unavoidable. It’s probably not the press that Disney wanted, but the movie is out there now.

I can imagine that, considering the film is going to make its way to Disney+ eventually, most people are just waiting to continue to watch the movie like they’ve watched the last three seasons: at home on the couch with a bucket of popcorn that does not resemble Din Djarin’s head. It started on the small screen, and that’s where it should have stayed (along with a tie-in to Thrawn to get people at least excited for what may come next in Mando’s story, but I digress).

Despite countless headlines about how “Star Wars” is over for good, the movie probably awakened a new generation of fans who are now binge-watching the rest of the films on Disney+. They might have even roped in a few new fans of “The Mandalorian” as well. If they wanted to go all-in on the Baby Yoda merchandising and get some new Disney+ subscribers by putting out a lackluster film, then they’ve succeeded in that regard.

Will ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ Create New ‘Star Wars’ Fans?

Let’s face it: “Star Wars” needs some new fans, and that needs to start with the younger generation. The sequel trilogy was an absolute disaster, and the fact that there hasn’t been a “Star Wars” movie in theaters since 2019’s “The Rise of Skywalker” proves it. There are kids who have never seen a “Star Wars” movie in theaters, and it’s possible that Lucasfilm wanted to rope fans in with “The Mandalorian and Grogu” before “Starfighter” is released next year and (possibly?) gives fans a look at what the future has in store for Rey and whoever else they plan to bring back.

But Lucasfilm might actually be shooting itself in the foot with this one. The more extraneous material they release – like this movie – the harder it is for a “casual” fan to catch up. I can’t tell you how many times people have asked me how this movie connects to the original trilogy (“The guy is like… the brother of Boba Fett, right?”) or if Grogu and Baby Yoda are the same character. People legitimately do not know about “Star Wars.”

They know Darth Vader. They know Yoda. They know Luke Skywalker. All of those characters have become pop culture legends, and maybe it should have stayed that way. For twenty years, there were six films in the Skywalker Saga, and that was it. Then Disney started pumping out a movie a year, and several live-action shows that the average viewer stopped keeping track of. “Andor” got plenty of buzz, but ten or twenty years from now, I don’t think anyone will be talking about that or “The Mandalorian.”

If “The Mandalorian and Grogu” wanted to get “Star Wars” back on everyone’s lips, then they’ve certainly done that. And although it failed to show up at the box office, plenty of fans will certainly catch it on Disney+ whenever it hits streaming (which might be sooner rather than later at this rate). Between merchandising and other brand partnerships, “Star Wars” is everywhere again.

Let’s just hope that Shawn Levy’s “Starfighter” can deliver. Rebellions are built on hope, and so, apparently, is this franchise.

Despite becoming one of the defining American films of the 2000s, the Coen Brothers’ Oscar-winning neo-Western No Country for Old Men also sparked a major legal battle involving one of its biggest stars. Years after the film swept the Academy Awards, lead Tommy Lee Jones sued Paramount Pictures over millions in allegedly unpaid compensation for the movie’s success. It’s a strangely ironic little footnote to a modern classic already obsessed with the true cost of greed.

‘No Country for Old Men’ Is One of the Defining Films of the 2000s

Released in 2007, No Country for Old Men follows welder-turned-hunter Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin) after he stumbles across a briefcase holding $2 million in the wake of a drug deal gone wrong. That discovery puts him directly in the path of Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), the cattle-gun-wielding, coin-tossing hitman who is now an iconic part of movie history. Watching it all unfold is Jones as Sheriff Ed Tom Bell in one of the strongest performances of his career — a performance that led to him suing a studio.

While Bardem’s villain understandably became the face of the movie, Jones is undoubtedly the film’s emotional center. Bell spends the movie grappling with a changing America that no longer makes sense to him, attempting to come to terms with a world where violence and cruelty have evolved beyond his ability to stop them. It’s a masterclass performance that gives the Coen Brothers crime movie much of its soul. And without Jones, the film wouldn’t be the elegy for the American West that makes it so good in the first place.

No Country for Old Men was a massive critical success almost immediately. The Western won four Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor for Bardem. Critics hailed it as one of the Coens’ greatest works, and it quickly entered the contemporary canon alongside a run of other modern Westerns like Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood and Andrew Dominik’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford — both 2007 releases, as well. Commercially, it was also far more successful than many expected, going on to gross over $170 million worldwide. In fact, it’s that very success that ultimately led to its legal problems.

Tommy Lee Jones Sued Paramount Over Millions in Unpaid Bonuses

In 2008, Jones filed a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures claiming the studio failed to properly pay him box office bonuses and compensation promised in his contract. According to the suit, Jones had accepted a lower salary in exchange for bonuses on the back end based on the film’s box office. It quickly devolved into a court case. And as later filings revealed, Jones was actually onto something: Paramount’s lawyers had allegedly made a major drafting mistake in his contract.

The bonus structure accidentally allowed him to get a bigger payout… even when the movie didn’t actually hit the threshold the studio intended. Instead of receiving bonuses after worldwide grosses doubled certain targets, Jones’ deal scored him payouts at half them instead. That error meant Jones was owed, even though the film had only earned around $160 million at the time. (For context, the previous Best Picture winner — Martin Scorsese’s perfect crime movie The Departed — had brought in nearly $300 million.)

After arbitration, Jones reportedly received a $17.5 million payout from Paramount. The studio’s former attorneys also settled with Paramount, losing $2.6 million over the mistake. Paramount then attempted to offset some of the financial loss by passing portions of the payout onto the film’s investors. That sparked another lawsuit involving Marathon Funding, a financing company that claimed Paramount improperly deducted Jones’ bonus from profit participation revenue.

Paramount won that separate dispute, but the damage had already been done: the entire situation exposed just how messy the financial side of filmmaking can be — even among the best movies. Looking back now, the whole saga feels oddly perfect for a film like No Country for Old Men. After all, the movie itself is fundamentally about people destroying themselves over money they can never truly control. Offscreen, things looked pretty similar. It’s an interesting wrinkle in the legacy of one of the greatest films of the century so far — but also a fitting one.

Calling something a better binge watch than Breaking Bad sounds almost illegal because that show practically trained viewers to say “one more episode” at 2 a.m. Its escalation is legendary. Walt’s (Bryan Cranston) lies stack, Jesse (Aaron Paul) keeps getting wounded by other people’s ambition, and the story tightens until stopping feels like breaking a spell.

This list looks at binge momentum from a wider angle. Some shows move faster. Some create deeper paranoia. Some make the viewer desperate to understand the next piece of the system, the family, the conspiracy, or the moral collapse. Breaking Bad remains one of TV’s greatest rides, but these shows can be even harder to pause when the right viewer falls into them. And I understand I’ve ranked some of these shows as better binges than Breaking Bad before but that’s some nuance for another day.

10

‘Narcos’ (2015-2017)

Image via Netflix

Narcos follows the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar (Wagner Moura) through the Colombian cocaine trade, with DEA agents Steve Murphy (Boyd Holbrook) and Javier Peña (Pedro Pascal) chasing a man whose money, violence, politics, and public image keep turning him into something larger than a normal criminal target. That gives the show a different kind of binge speed from Walter White’s slow climb. The machine is already roaring.

The series keeps pulling you forward through manhunts, betrayals, raids, prison power moves, political deals, and the horrifying casualness of cartel violence. Escobar walking through neighborhoods like a folk hero, Peña chasing dirty compromises, the hunt narrowing around La Catedral, and the later shift toward the Cali Cartel all give the binge a documentary-thriller charge. Breaking Bad makes empire-building feel personal. Narcos makes it feel geopolitical, which gives every episode a bigger, nastier horizon.

9

‘Ozark’ (2017-2022)

Image via Netflix

Ozark follows Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman), a financial adviser who launders money for a Mexican cartel, then drags his wife Wendy Byrde (Laura Linney) and their kids to the Missouri Ozarks after a deal goes bad. From that point, every family conversation doubles as a survival calculation. Marty is trying to keep everyone alive through numbers. Wendy starts discovering that power might suit her more than escape ever did.

That family-cartel setup makes the show ridiculously easy to chain-watch. Ruth Langmore (Julia Garner)’s rise from local hustler to the show’s most bruised moral force gives the series its emotional kick, while Darlene Snell (Lisa Emery), the Kansas City mob, cartel pressure, casino politics, and family betrayal keep tightening the noose. The blue-gray dread can feel almost punishing, yet that mood is part of the addiction. Ozark gives viewers the “ordinary family pulled into crime” hook and keeps asking how long ordinary can even survive once everyone starts adapting too well.

8

‘Peaky Blinders’ (2013-2022)

Image via BBC

Peaky Blinders follows Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy), a World War I veteran who turns his Birmingham street gang into a political and criminal force. His brothers Arthur (Paul Anderson) and John (Joe Cole), his aunt Polly (Helen McCrory), and the rest of the Shelby family are tied to him through blood, trauma, ambition, and the constant fear that Tommy’s next plan might finally cost too much.

The show is insanely watchable because it understands momentum as attitude and consequence. Tommy walking through smoke in that coat, Arthur exploding in pubs, Polly reading everyone before they speak, Alfie Solomons (Tom Hardy) turning every scene into controlled madness, the fights with Sabini (Noah Taylor), Changretta (Adrien Brody), Mosley (Sam Claflin), and rival gangs all build a binge rhythm that feels almost musical. Breaking Bad is cleaner as a moral descent. Peaky Blinders is messier, louder, sexier, and easier to devour when the mood is crime-family obsession. Not to mention it is now spiralling into a spin-off starring Stranger Things’ Charlie Heaton as one of the leads.

7

‘Hannibal’ (2013-2015)

Image via NBC

Hannibal follows Will Graham (Hugh Dancy), an FBI profiler whose empathy lets him mentally reconstruct murders, and Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), the brilliant psychiatrist and cannibal who becomes both his doctor and his nightmare. Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) uses Will’s gift to solve cases, while Hannibal quietly turns that gift into a psychological trap.

The series has a strange pull. Every episode feels like stepping into someone’s beautiful bad dream. The murder tableaux, Abigail Hobbs (Kacey Rohl), Bedelia Du Maurier (Gillian Anderson)’s fear, Will’s hallucinations, Hannibal’s dinner parties, the blood-soaked friendship between predator and patient, all of it creates a binge that feels intimate and cursed. This is the pick for viewers who want crime TV with obsession instead of procedural comfort.

6

‘The Americans’ (2013-2018)

Image via FX

The Americans follows Philip Jennings (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell), who look like a normal married couple in 1980s suburban Washington, D.C., but are really Soviet spies running missions under false identities while raising two children who think their parents are travel agents. Their neighbor Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich) works for the FBI, which turns every driveway chat into a loaded gun.

The show becomes more addictive the longer the marriage gets tested. Philip is more emotionally worn down by the disguises, seductions, and killings, while Elizabeth holds tighter to the mission even as motherhood complicates everything. Paige (Holly Taylor)’s slow awareness of the family secret turns the whole series into a parental nightmare. Martha (Alison Wright), Nina (Annet Mahendru), Oleg (Costa Ronin), Claudia (Margo Martindale), and Stan all add different kinds of pressure. The reason it can out-binge Breaking Bad is the domestic paranoia.

5

‘Mr. Robot’ (2015-2019)

Image via USA Network

Mr. Robot follows Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek), a cybersecurity engineer and hacker recruited by fsociety, an underground group trying to erase consumer debt by attacking a corporate giant called E Corp. He is brilliant, isolated, angry, and mentally unstable in ways the show slowly turns into part of the storytelling itself. That first season alone has the kind of twisty momentum that makes viewers suspicious of every frame.

The binge becomes deeper once the show moves beyond hack-the-system fantasy and starts digging into trauma, identity, capitalism, loneliness, and control. Darlene (Carly Chaikin)’s bond with Elliot builds a nice emotional core for the show, while Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) keeps shifting from revolutionary guide to something far more personal. Episodes like the prison reveal, the silent heist, the stage-play therapy hour, and the final run make the series feel carefully locked together.

4

‘Dark’ (2017-2020)

Image via Netflix

Dark begins in a small German town where four families are connected by secrets, grief, and a cave that links different time periods. Jonas Kahnwald (Louis Hofmann) becomes the emotional entry point after his father’s suicide, but the story quickly expands through parents, children, grandparents, alternate versions, and loops that make every family tree feel like a crime scene.

And therefore, this show is binge-watching as obsession. You keep watching because one face, one photograph, one name, or one date can completely change what you thought you understood. The 1953, 1986, 2019, and later timelines turn memory into a puzzle with emotional consequences. Martha Nielsen (Lisa Vicari) and Jonas’s connection, Ulrich Nielsen (Oliver Masucci)’s desperate search, Claudia Tiedemann (Julika Jenkins)’s long game, Noah (Mark Waschke)’s menace, and the repeated question of whether anyone can break the cycle all make the series feel massive without needing endless seasons.

3

‘Succession’ (2018-2023)

Image via HBO

Succession follows the Roy family, owners of the media empire Waystar Royco, as aging patriarch Logan Roy (Brian Cox) keeps his children Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook), Roman (Kieran Culkin), and Connor (Alan Ruck) trapped in a permanent audition for power and love. Every episode turns inheritance into humiliation. Every joke has a bruise under it.

As a binge, it is brutal fun because the emotional damage keeps changing outfits. Kendall wants to become the killer his father demands, then keeps crumbling under his own need. Shiv treats distance as intelligence until she realizes the room has already moved without her. Roman turns pain into jokes so quickly that his worst moments can sneak up on you. Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) and Greg (Nicholas Braun) bring corporate survival comedy into a family tragedy, which gives the show insane tonal energy. This is less “one man breaks bad” and more “an entire bloodline was trained to mistake cruelty for competence.” That kind of damage is disgustingly bingeable.

2

‘Better Call Saul’ (2015-2022)

Image via AMC

Better Call Saul follows Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), a hustling Albuquerque lawyer who wants respect, especially from his older brother Chuck (Michael McKean). Viewers already know he becomes Saul Goodman, the flashy criminal attorney who helps Walt and Jesse in Breaking Bad, so every kind gesture, shortcut, scam, and humiliation lands with extra dread. You are watching a man walk toward a name that feels like a surrender.

Jimmy and Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) make the binge emotionally dangerous. Their chemistry is charming at first because they understand each other’s mischief, ambition, and resentment better than anyone else. Then that same chemistry starts feeding choices they can no longer laugh off. Chuck’s courtroom collapse, the Mesa Verde scams, Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton)’s terrifying charm, Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks)’s grief-driven discipline, Howard (Patrick Fabian)’s fate, and Kim leaving all cut deeper when watched in sequence. The parent show delivers the louder fall. Better Call Saul makes the viewer mourn the person who almost got out.

1

‘The Wire’ (2002-2008)

Image via HBO

The Wire follows a Baltimore investigation into Avon Barksdale (Wood Harris)’s drug organization, with detectives Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West), Kima Greggs (Sonja Sohn), Bunk Moreland (Wendell Pierce), and Lester Freamon (Clarke Peters) trying to build a real case while the department keeps pushing for easy numbers. Out on the streets, we have D’Angelo (Larry Gilliard Jr.), Bodie (J.D. Williams), Wallace (Michael B. Jordan), Stringer (Idris Elba), Avon, and Omar (Michael K. Williams) making the drug world feel human, strategic, funny, terrifying, and heartbreaking.

The binge pull comes from accumulation. A corner conversation matters later. A political compromise changes police work. A school policy shapes a kid’s future. A newsroom shortcut damages public truth. The Wire gives the viewer a whole ecosystem of drugs and detectives. Once that clicks, stopping after one episode feels impossible because every piece of Baltimore is talking to every other piece.

Alyson Hannigan spoke out following the death of her Buffy the Vampire Slayer costar Anthony Stewart Head.

“This cut is so deep I fear it can never heal,” Hannigan, 52, admitted in a poignant Instagram post on Saturday, June 6.

The duo starred together for seven seasons on the cult classic supernatural horror series, in which Hannigan played wiccan hero Willow Rosenberg and Head portrayed Buffy’s watcher Rupert Giles.

“Oh Tonal…I am so grateful to have had you in my life,” Hannigan’s tribute went on. “I want to say a million wonderful things about you and yet I can’t seem to find the words that would do you justice. I love you so much and will miss you forever. RIP.”

Buffy’s lead actress Sarah Michelle Gellar offered Hannigan support in the post’s comment section, writing, “He loved you so dearly Aly.”

Anthony’s daughters, Emily and Daisy Head, announced on Friday, June 5, that their father died following a battle with pneumonia.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of our extraordinary father, Anthony Head,” they revealed. “He passed away peacefully of complications due to pneumonia, surrounded by his family.”

Their statement continued, “It has been, and forever will be, an honor and a privilege to be his daughters, and to have witnessed firsthand the impact both he and his work have had on so many. We know how dearly he will be missed by friends, colleagues, and fans of the shows he was in — he loved his job very much, and he always considered himself incredibly lucky, to have been able to work alongside such exceptionally talented people, in such wonderful productions, across a career that spanned several decades.”

Many of the most iconic stars from Buffy — including David Boreanaz, Eliza Dushku, James Marsters and Emma Caulfield — reflected on the life and legacy of their late costar following the announcement of his death.

“Tony H ~ For every scene & time shared, I give thanks. Rest in love and peace, kind sir. A dear one,” Dushku, 45, shared via her Instagram Story.

Thank You!

Gellar, 49, quoted an iconic scene from Buffy the Vampire Slayer in her own memorial message for Anthony.

“‘Tell Giles I figured it out and I’m ok.’ Well I don’t have it figured out and I’m not ok,” she wrote via Instagram on Friday. “But I know I’m the lucky one because I knew you. Thank you to Daisy and Emily who not only shared their dad with me, but with the world.”

The Buffy community has endured significant loss in recent years. Michelle Trachtenberg — who played Buffy’s sister Dawn Summers — died from complications of diabetes mellitus at age 39 in February 2025 while Xander Harris actor Nicholas Brendon died at age 54 from a multitude of medical issues in March. (An autopsy report obtained by Us Weekly determined that Brendon had atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease, with acute pneumonia and previous myocardial infarction, a.k.a. heart attack, as a contributing factor.)
