That is very sad. Was it an OD?

He was also known as Black Tiger II in ECW a long time ago, I believe, and he started the LWO in WCW. He was good friends with Chris Benoit (they were in the Radicalz together) and in the WWF one of his catch-phrases was "Latino Heat". Hopefully that rings a few bells for you....
But I dont believe it was an OD....he died brushing his teeth, and he's been clean for 4 years (4 years ago today, I believe, which makes it even sadder). Given that he did have drug and alcohol problems in the past it sounds to me like heart failure, similar to what happened to Brian Pillman and Road Warrior Hawk......but thats just my theory.
