Bill Leavy Obituary and Funeral, Official in Controversial Super Bowl XL,

NFL official Bill Leavy, best remembered for serving as the referee during the controversial Super Bowl XL, has died at 76.

A cause of death was not given.

Saddened to hear of the loss of Bill Leavy,” former official and CBS analyst Gene Steratore said on Twitter. “Bill was an excellent referee and just a joy to be around. Life is just too short. He was a great mentor and friend. Rest in Peace Bill.”

Leavy worked in the NFL from 1995 to 2014, where he officiated in two Super Bowl games including the matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks at Super Bowl XL in 2006.

The crew was criticized for several calls against Seattle, including a holding penalty negating a completion that would have put the ball at the Steelers’ one-yard line.
