What a way to go out though, make amends with Wwe, get inducted to the HoF (granted, that's not that big of a deal imo, but still nice) and say goodbye to the fans.
Just re-reading his speech on RAW in an earlier post, did Warrior prophecy his own death? I might be looking into it, but read the first couple of lines and see what I mean.
R.I.P. Ultimate Warrior. His influence has touched everyone in some way, shape or form.

Statement from Warrior Entertainment:
I am shocked and profoundly saddened by the death of my friend Warrior. He was a great man and leaves behind a legacy that will forever live in the hearts and minds of those who knew him personally,and his legions of Ultimate Warrior fans.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Warriors beautiful family, his wife Dana and their daughters Mattigan and Indiana. No words are strong enough to express my feeling for them at this time.
I was honored to be able to spend the weekend with Warrior and his family at WrestleMania 30 and have never seen a prouder father or more loving family.
Warrior was the happiest I had ever seen him to bring Ultimate Warrior back home to WWE and share that unmistakeable passion and excitement with each and every Ultimate Warrior fan around the world.
I have lost my best friend and my hero but take comfort in knowing his legacy will live forever. I will Always Believe.

The Associated Press has an article up on The Ultimate Warrior's passing, with comments from Sean Waltman and Triple H. Triple H noted that Vince McMahon told Warrior this weekend, "I've always loved you. Sometimes, I didn't like you, but I always loved you."
Waltman commented on seeing Warrior in New Orleans:
"I got a sense he wasn't well. It was sad to me. He was kind of hunched over. He used to have such great posture. You just had this sense that he wasn't well. But he was in great spirits. He came up to (other wrestlers) and gave them hugs."
Triple H talked about Warrior's passing:
"We are all grateful to have had the opportunity to get the closure with him, to work to get him back on that platform. Knowing him now, there could have been no better send-off, really, for him, than that. It was everything he would have dreamed off."

Fred on working with Warrior in the ring: "Me personally no I couldn’t give you any (stories of working with Warrior in the ring) I just was able to observe him at that time but I enjoyed watching his work with a multitude of different guys.

Fred on how Warrior’s passing was different from his other friends in the business: "Well you know you got to take into effect that when he was there he was as popular and as on the same level as Hulk (Hogan) was.
