Eric Bauza, the Emmy Award-winning voice actor known for voicing Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, dies at 46. Multiple outlets say his family announced his death through an Instagram statement, describing it as sudden and adding that more details would follow. Several reports note he remained active in voice work, including recent projects.
Coverage largely agrees on Bauza’s key roles in Looney Tunes and related animation. Outlets identify him as the “modern” voice of classic characters and highlight his career spanning films and TV productions. Some reports also include additional credit lists beyond Looney Tunes, such as work tied to “Coyote vs. Acme” and other animated series or franchises.
A main difference appears in the cause-of-death detail. One outlet reports medical examiner records attributing the death to hypertensive cardiovascular disease, while others either do not mention a cause or only repeat that it was sudden. Overall, the tone is consistent: Bauza’s family statement leads, followed by background on his voice roles and industry recognition.
