ANOTHER wrestler is dead. In his 40s.

R.I.P. Sean O'Haire.

1. Steroids destroy your heart.

[TZ]

2. Yup

I'm tired of people who think steroids are harmless. They arent

[mythology]

4. I believe he strangled himself with a belt

I don't know that you can blame it on steroids.

[Fearless]

5. As of the time of posting no cause of death had been released.

If that is the case I'd also add that had trauma has been shown to lead to depression and suicide.

3. Sounds like he had some issues also...

Might be because of steroids...he certianly had that look about him...RIP

6. I'm glad DU's doctors on the scene are here to blame their personal boogeyman.

"IT'S STEROIDS!"

Sigh AND facepalm.

[KamaAina]

7. Well, there has been a rash of deaths among wrestlers in their 40s

and WWE has basically admitted that many, if not most, wrestlers used steroids until they cracked down a couple of years ago. It does seem a reasonable assumption.

8. What other comparison can we draw here?

I don't deny what you've stated. Now, lets talk about other potential steroid users, from the WWE to the NFL, MLB, and even on to the Mr. Olympia.

I don't deny that steroids had something to do with it. I just find it laughable to an almost moronic level that the FIRST fucking thing folks run to (with all their PhDs intact, I'm sure) is steroids.

Boogeyman.

9. Likely due to TBI, CTE, etc

[KamaAina]

10. Also a reasonable conjecture.

One would think there'd be autopsy evidence one way or the other. Remember when the NFL's Dave Duerson shot himself in the chest, so as to preserve the brain for autopsy?
