Not necessarily. If he ran with the typical WWE crowd, he may have done a lot of stimulants/steroids, which have caused heart failure in a lot of wrestlers around this age. But either way, still extremely sad.

Way more sad than the *other* famous individual who died yesterday.

Hopefully the Island BBQ joints were set up to be successful beyond him as he had the wife and kids to look after.

Hernandez of the patriots died. Suicide in prison. He murdered three people. I don't think anyone is mourning his passing.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Gotcha. Yeah I agree. Weird that all he had to do to basically have a great life like Tom Brady was just not murder people.
