    Taken from MSN.com:

    MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Eduardo Gory Guerrero, a World Wrestling Entertainment superstar was found dead in his hotel room Sunday in Minneapolis, where he was scheduled to appear that evening in a WWE Supershow. He was 38.



    When he didn't respond to a wake-up call, hotel security at Minneapolis Marriott City Center and Guerrero's nephew and fellow WWE wrestler, Chavo Guerrero, forced their way into the room, police said.

    There were no apparent signs of foul play or suicide, police said. An autopsy was planned at the Hennepin County medical examiner's office.

    He was a featured star on the UPN series "WWE Smackdown!" and son of Mexican wrestler Gory Guerrero.

    Chavo Guerrero and McMahon said Guerrero was open about his past drug and alcohol abuse but they said he'd been sober for four years.

    In February 2004, Guerrero became the second wrestler of Hispanic heritage to be WWE champion when he defeated Brock Lesnar, a former University of Minnesota wrestling standout. Guerrero lost the title four months later. In May 2004, UPN aired the special "Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerrero Story." The one-hour program chronicled his childhood and his struggle with drug addiction that almost cost him his job, family and life before his recovery and eventual capture of the WWE championship.

    Damn, another wrestler dying.... Why do all these guys die so fucking much? I mean shit, it can't just be the beatings there bodies take, cause football players take just as much... Guess it's the drugs alot of them get hooked on.

    I found this on the web, it might answer your question...

    When I started wrestling I had never seen or heard of Vicodin or Percocet or Soma. How come so many wrestlers die from these medications and football players and hockey players don't? The answer is simple - wrestlers, especially WWE wrestlers, work five days a week all year long taking bump after bump in the ring. A doctor explained it to me like this: Every time you take a fall in the ring it's like getting rear-ended by a car going 20 mph, so how many bumps in the ring a night do you take? Multiply that by how many times a week you work all year long. That's a hell of a lot of whiplash and pain.

    yea this is messed up, I was just kickin it with him last month when WWE came to Atlanta...

    I got to know him over the last year or so, dude was cool as hell, I was introduced to him since he used our (lowrider club) cars whenever he would come out, we always got front row/backstage passes.. His dad and my grandfather were old friend in Mexico, my grandfather actually wrestled for years back in the 60's and through the 80's.. (El Mongol) Guererro had a problem with drinking/pills but he had been clean for a few years now. Hate to see him pass, this was one of the good guys left in WWE..

    Just heard from my friend who was getting his '64 shipped up to Minnesota for Eddies entrance..

    they had his car and then told him Eddie wouldn't be performing yesterday because of a sprained wrist. from what he was told by the rep at WWE, sounds like he died from a heart attack..

    Yeah, I'm the one who broke the news to Karen when I found it on the computer. It's such a shame to see someone who overcame tremendous odds and cleaned himself up pass on like this at such a young age. I feel for his family, friends, and co-workers. RIP Eddie.

    Unfortunately, I only caught the first hour of Raw tonight, so I missed some of the more emotional speeches and such. I'll have to tape Smackdown Friday as I won't be around for that either.

    The worst one was Chris Benoit. I missed some of the dedications though because my cable is being a huge pain in the a$$!! It would just cut out in the middle of the show. I am curious to see what happens on Friday too. Tonight was hard enough.

    ^benoit was hard to watch. The best part of the show was when cena took off the Eddie shirt he was wearing and put it in the middle of the ring and then laidthe title belt across it.

    That was awesome!! It is so amazing the impact he had on everyone's life. I was telling my BF tonight how wierd it will be from now on to not see him drive up in a different car each week. I always look forward to that.

    I only happened to catch the first 15 minutes of it, then switched to MNF, but it seemed pretty sad at the intro... and of course they had to play Hurt by Johnny Cash.... I haven't watched wrestling in a looooooong time, but I saw Benoit was pretty broken up, and so was Chavo and the giant.

    I agree about the cena thing, that was a great show of appreciation and respect, I have a great deal more respect for cena now than I did.
