Ex World Wrestling Entertainment star Brian 'Crush' Adams has been found dead in his home in Florida.
The wrestler's wife found him unconscious in his bed on Monday and called an ambulance, but doctors were unable to revive him.
An autopsy will today be performed on Crush, who retired from competing in 2003 when he suffered from a spinal injury.
There were no visible injuries on his body, according to the police's incident report.
Retired pro wrestler Ron Simmons said of the news: "I’m still in a state of shock right now. He and I go way back and have worked together for years. He was a very good friend of mine. I still don’t want to believe it. I’m just saddened by it and I just want to wish his family well."
It comes just a month after WWE star Chris Benoit murdered his wife and child and then hanged himself.
