failing to check out. He was pronounced dead on the scene and he was wearing his championship ring. . There were no
signs of trauma. A witness reportedly saw "white stuff" was coming out of
his nose.

His family released a statement following the news, "We want to thank
everyone for their prayers and condolences during this difficult time
for our family."
