The Ultimate Warrior Cause Of Death Revealed As Heart Attack

According to a report from TMZ, The Ultimate Warrior passed away last Tuesday due to a massive heart attack. The medical examiner that conducted the autopsy determined that Warrior died of Atherosclerotic/Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease," which means heart disease. The report goes on to state that Warrior's death was "natural" meaning there were no alcohol or drugs in his system. He was 54 years old. While Warrior didn't have any alcohol or drugs in his system at the time of his death, he was known as somebody that used steroids during his career. You don't get a physique like Warrior's naturally. In their 2002 book about the WWF, "Sex, Lies and Headlocks," journalists Mike Mooneyham and Shaun Assael wrote that "behind his back the Boys called him Anabolic Warrior for all the steroids it took to gain him his superhuman frame." In 1992, Warrior was fired by WWE in part because of his steroid use. Canadian chemist Mauro Di Pasquale had proof that Warrior was using steroids in September of '92. He then successfully persuaded McMahon to release Warrior due to the heat on him by the United States federal government. When Warrior spoke on Raw last week about how everybody breaths their last breath, a lot of fans thought that he knew something was wrong. It's hard to know if that's true or not, but chances are even if he did feel sick nobody expected something so tragic to happen after his three day return to WWE. Warrior's life will be honored by WWE during tonight's episode of Raw. Warrior's death has hit a lot of people hard within WWE, most likely Vince McMahon more than anybody, so it's going to be an emotional show. The entire three hour episode of Raw isn't going to be all about Warrior, but there will be tributes to him all night long. It should be another must see edition of Raw especially if you're a fan of the Ultimate Warrior.
