'WWE Smackdown!' Star Guerrero Dies:
A World Wrestling Entertainment star was found dead in his hotel room Sunday in Minneapolis, where he was scheduled to appear that evening in a WWE show.
Eduardo Gory Guerrero, 38, didn't respond to a wake-up call Sunday morning, authorities said. His nephew, fellow WWE wrestler Chavo Guerrero, and hotel security at the Minneapolis Marriott City Center forced their way into the room and found him.
There were no apparent signs of foul play, police said. An autopsy was planned to determine how Guerrero died.
His nephew said Guerrero was open about past drug and alcohol abuse but had been sober for four years. Guerrero was married and had three children.
"This is a huge loss," said WWE chairman Vince McMahon. "Eddie was a wonderful, fun-loving human being. Eddie was a consummate performer."
Guerrero was a featured star on the UPN series "WWE Smackdown!" and son of Mexican wrestler Gory Guerrero. Last year, he became the second wrestler of Hispanic heritage to be WWE champion, though he lost the title four months later.
UPN also aired a special last year on his life, "Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerrero Story." The program chronicled Guerrero's childhood and his struggle with drug addiction that almost cost him his job, family and life.

Well if he was clean I would be amazed. You would be suprised the amount of shit these guys take. From Steroids to speed to downers you name it.
If he had been cleaned up the drugs he did in the past could have finally caught up to him

He has 3 young daughters too. Supposedly he was clean for a while but if he OD'd on anything I'd guess it was painkillers.

I don't think I'd even bet a nickel against it not being a drug OD

He was probably practing flying suplexes on the maids and one turned out to be a ninja assassin and pwned his ass.

That's my guess too.
Fake as wrestling is, those guys go through some serious hurt from being slammed and thrown around like that. @@

He was clean. Heart failure was the cause of death from past damage and working out.

Just because no one would notice your death butterboy, until the rotting stench of your carcass prompted the excavation of whatever whole you crawled into? He was a father of 3, gave back to his community, and a stand up guy.
