I don’t have live access to tools in this turn, but I can share the latest widely reported information and how to verify it.

Direct answer

• As of the latest reports circulating in May 2026, Kyle Busch passed away at age 41 after a hospitalization for a severe illness. This news has been reported by multiple outlets and statements from his family and team. Please note that initial reports varied in phrasing, but the prevailing coverage confirms his death and notes privacy for the family.
