Sad..only 45. And Artful Dodger is right, many were probably hooked on painkillers, plus the roid use. Probably not a good combination, as well as spending 300 days a year on the road. Not great for the diet.
I forgot about Miss Elizabeth passing away, didn't know about Junk Yard Dog or Curt Henning either.

2 of these Von Erichs committed suicide. The other supposedly died when his intestines ruptured, causing a heart attack. A fellow wrestler found him in a hotel room and flushed all of his meds down the john.
