Another Wrestler Dead

I�m sad to report that Michael Hegstrand, better known as Road Warrior Hawk of the Legion of Doom, died at 1:30am this morning.

He had just sold his condo and planned to move to his new home today in Tampa, FL. His wife, Dale, said, "He was going to lay down for a while, he didn't feel well." She believed at the tome that it was just from all the packing and the excitement of the move to Florida.

Another one dies young, substance abuse catching up? I really dunno but an awful lot are going far too early

Steroids are carcinogenic and increases your rate of heart attack, I'm pretty sure. So, that's a possible explanation.

Don't forget falling out of an improperly chosen safety harness.

Because thats how the business works.

To be a really pushed guy you need to be really big and thus take steriods.

Wrestlers are generally unhealty, they take steroids and work on huge doses of painkillers.

What happened to Miss Elizabeth? I faintly remember hearing something about her, but don't remember what happened.

She was with Lex Luger in his place in Gerogia or whatever and he made a panic-filled phone call to the cops. When the cops arrived, she was dead. The cops did find a lot of "illegal pills" in Luger's belongings. This happened a few months ago. She was only like 40 or 41.

Anyone who's followed wrestling since the mid 90's shouldn't be too surprised, though it's quite sad nonetheless.

Hawk had a number of drug problems for a while in his career, for a while they even incorporated them into the story of the WWF. I hoped that being so open about it may have helped on the path to recovery.
Shame that it didn't.

Damn shame
