Wrestling Deaths (not steroid related):

* Eddie Guerrero, 38, was found unconscious in his hotel room in Minneapolis, Minn., by his nephew, Chavo. Guerrero was scheduled to face David Michael Bautista and Randy Orton in a triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship. An autopsy revealed that the pro wrestler died as a result of acute heart failure caused by an undiagnosed arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Guerrero had been alcohol and drug free for more than four years before his death.

* Owen Hart suffered a fatal fall during a pay-per-view event in Kansas City. Hart was being dropped on stage as a stunt when he was released earlier than planned, forcing the pro wrestler into a free fall. Hart died from a severed aorta that filled his lungs with blood. Hart -- known to fans as the "Blue Blazer" and "King of Harts" -- was the youngest of 12 children to Wrestling promoters Stu and Helen Hart.

* Andre Rene Roussimoff, famously known to fans as Andre the Giant, died in his sleep in January 1993. He died of a congestive heart failure.

* Scott "Bam Bam" Bigelow was found dead at his home in Hudson, Fla., from a persistent infection and Diabetes. However, the autopsy revealed extraordinary amounts of cocaine and benzodiazepine (anti-anxiety drug) in his system.

Steroid Related Deaths:

* Curt Henning, whose ring name was "Mr. Perfect," died at the age of 44 in a Florida hotel room shortly before a scheduled wrestling match. Although medical records show that Henning died of acute cocaine intoxication, his father insists that a lethal combination of steroids and painkillers contributed to his death.

* Davey Smith died in 2002 of an enlarged heart with evidence of microscopic scar tissue from steroid abuse, according to a Canadian coroner. Bruce Hart, a veteran trainer and brother-in-law of Smith, said that the British Bulldog "paid the price of steroid cocktails and human-growth hormones."

* Louis Mucciolo, 27, passed away from coronary disease at his home in San Pedro, Calif. Mucciolo a.k.a. "Rad Radford" was found by investigators with an empty vial of the male hormone testosterone, pain pills and an anxiety-reducing drug at his bedside.

* Richard Rood died at 40 from an overdose of "mixed medications." "Ravishing Rich Rude," whose body was found in Alpharetta, Ga., had testified in 1994, five years before his death, that he used anabolic steroids to build muscle mass and relieve joint pain.

* Brian Pillman died of an undetected heart condition in 1997 while taking painkillers and human-growth hormones according to investigators on the scene. "Flyin' Brian," who did not know that he was about to become a father, was found in a Minnesota hotel room.
