Can the grammar police in this forum enlighten me (us) ?

Adding a "why" seems redundant, and it appears to be adding a question into an answer too. Adding "because" to reason also seems repetitious.

If so, what is correct way to use the phrase "the reason ..."
 
That animal is dead, even had a bloody funeral like AhGong

Bollocks.

Unlike your earlier post which is edited and shown edited yesterday, u can't find any proof of editing in Netflix's posting in this thread. :D

You're right. 'Why' adds a question, and 'because' is redundant.

The correct way to use it is 'the reason ... is that'.

But many native speakers use 'reason why ... because' even in formal writing and it is more or less accepted today.
