In February 2007, Test was suspended by the WWE due to a violation of the company's drug testing policy. This tragedy is the latest of a chain of wrestler's misfortune with Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit passing away outside of the squared circle.

Yes very tragic. I guess we'll know more about the details in days to come. Lets just hope it has nothing to do with substance abuse.

Still ANOTHER wrestler dies at a young age! There should be a full blown investigation into this, and also into why so many wrestlers die before middle age!!

Good Night Test. We will miss you and your Wrestling. You are one of the younger line of wrestlers that look like what a wrestler should look like.
