Breaking News ! Ultimate warrior passes away !

Completely shocked...Savage and now him. RIP Warrior...The world of wrestling loses yet another one too early. I'm glad he seemed to have made peace with his life with getting inducted and coming back onto RAW. Least he left with dropping a solid promo on RAW and knowing he was a HOFer.

Truly shocking. The fact that the man was just inducted, rightfully so, saying good bye to his fans and thanking them before passing only a day later. I don't know whether to feel glad that he was recognized as a true legend and Hall of Famer or deeply saddened that he had to leave us so soon after. I'm just hoping he got the peace he deserved before passing. Definitely feel for the family. Cannot fathom how it must feel to lose someone so suddenly, especially after something that must mean so much to them finally being bestowed upon him. Peace and love, Warrior, RIP

I wonder if there was something wrong with him. He wasn't the type to showcase any kind of weakness, and he has always portrayed himself to be strong even after his wrestling career. I could tell at the HOF, WM30 and esp on RAW, something didn't seem right.

Details on exactly how The Ultimate Warrior passed away on Tuesday have not been released yet but below is the statement from Scottsdale police spokesman Sergeant Mark Clark, mentioning a catastrophic medical condition:

“On April 8 at 5:50 pm 54-year-old “Warrior” James B Hellwig collapsed while walking with his wife to their car at the Gainy Suites Hotel in Scottsdale, Ariz. Scottsdale Fire transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead soon after arrival. At this point in the investigation, it appears as though a catastrophic medical condition caused his death.”

TMZ.com reports that Warrior was seen clutching his chest before collapsing and all signs are pointing to a “massive heart attack.” More information will be known once an autopsy is completed which is currently scheduled for Thursday.

I don't think I trust anything TMZ says, so I'll wait for the official C.O.D. Thanks L.G.

It's very possible he could've had an undetected heart condition and the stress put on his body by lack of sleep and the exertion of WrestleMania weekend could've pushed his heart over the edge.
