The cause of death for Breaking Bad actor Mike Batayeh has been revealed two weeks after his sudden passing at the age of 52. He played the role of Dennis Markowski, the manager at Gustavo Fring in three episodes of the show from 2011 to 2012.
The actor reportedly passed away due to “asphyxia hanging.” The

heart attack while he was sleeping in his home in Michigan on June 1st.
