Professional wrestler Eddie Guerrero joins the list of wrestling stars who have died under mysterious circumstances at relatively young ages. Guerrero was found dead in a Minneapolis hotel room Sunday morning, just hours before a sold out WWE match he was scheduled to perform at was to occur.
The Sunday evening show was being revamped as a tribute to Guerrero, and will air Monday evening. His nephew, fellow WWE wrestler Chavo Guerrero, traveled with him to Minneapolis and found him in his room Sunday morning after Guerrero missed a wakeup call. Guerrero had just celebrated his fourth anniversary of sobriety from drug and alcohol addictions that nearly ended his professional career and marriage.
Video of a press conference featuring Vince McMahon and Chavo Guerrero can be seen here.
The list of deceased stars from the golden era of the WWE (known at the time as the WWF) and other regional wrestling promotions is a very long list, and features some well known names. Names such as:
- Curt “Mr. Perfect” Henning
Rick Rude
Terry Gordy.
Davey Boy Smith
Brian Pillman
Hercules Hernandez
Road Warrior Hawk
Owen Hart
Miss Elizabeth
The Big Boss Man
Crash Holly
The Von Erich’s (Kerry, Mike, David, and Chris)
Junkyard Dog
Big John Studd
Andre The Giant
And hundreds more. Of those, only Owen Hart died in the ring. The rest typically died of sudden heart attack or drug overdoses. It might be scripted entertainment in the ring, but outside the ring a high death rate lingers behind their time in the ring.
He is a good wrestler.

Dears,
may the almighty father give you strenght for missing your lovely Eddy; I couldn’t believe his death as was told by someone because it was a few days that I watch his show. But next I couldn’t wait to see if will be there; but unfortunity I was surprise by Ray wore Eddy T-shirt and dirve Eddy’s car that brought me to the truth that he death. There is no way to escapt death as this is how God planned for him, we’ve no power over God will. I’ writing with panic shock out of Eddy Death. May the almighty father raise his soul in peace. I missed his show.
