What Happened to Kris Kristofferson?
Although Kris’ cause of death has not been revealed, it was known that he battled Lyme disease. In a 2016 interview with LymeDisease.org, his wife Lisa shared, “About 12 years ago, he was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, which looking back, should have been the first indication that a test for Lyme was warranted,” she said. “But we suspect he’s been infected with Lyme anywhere from 14 to 30 years because he used to have these chronic muscle spasms, which is a common symptom.”
His wife shared his struggles to the outlet, stating that he experienced “massive, painful spasms all over his back and legs— it was so horrible— his nerve endings were causing golf ball-sized, painful contractions that we battled with acupuncture, heat and massage, then finally a spinal cortisone shot by a rheumatologist, and a low dose anti-depressant.”
His death comes after he had retired from the entertainment industry in 2021.
