Sad story of another fallen star

The tribute on TV last night was creepy. He and Eddie Guerrero (also deceased) were embracing at the end. Touching, but really really sad.

I found out now that his son had Fragile X syndrome. It is a rare genetic condition that can cause severe cognitive delay and physical complications. So sad.

I heard after the Owen Hart death, that the amount of deaths per "athlete" was highest in the pro wresting world, as it pertained to drug abuse, particularly steroids. As it was explained, if you look at the number of deaths of the stars, and at the age they died at, the percentage of deaths linked to steroid use was the highest of any other professional athletic field. Not alarming, but after the whole steroid debocle from a dozen years ago, you would think they would be under a much larger microscope. I was a huge fan of pro wrasslin since I was a wee lad. The only death I can remember is Andre the Giant, they showed his huge coffin on TV. Regardless of why this happened, it is really a horrible story and so tragic.
