In 2017, Hefner died at age 91 at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles. His cause of death was sepsis, which is a life-threatening health issue brought on by an infection. In the businessman’s case, it was linked to E. coli.
“Hef passed away on September 27, 2017. On the 2nd anniversary of his death, we remember his love of life, his infectious laugh, and his lifelong fight against injustice,” a statement from Hefner’s Twitter page read on Friday. “We celebrate him as a true visionary, an activist, adventurer, and coolest pajama wearer. We miss you, Hef.”
