2. Autopsy Reveals Fresh Details On Passing Of Perro Aguayo Jr.

Undoubtedly one of the most tragic things to ever happen inside a wrestling ring, the death of Perro Aguayo Jr during a recent AAA show in Mexico is a rather sobering reminder of the dangers men and women face when entering a professional wrestling ring. During a routine tag match also involving Manik, Xtreme Tiger and Rey Mysterio, Aguayo would sadly pass away during the bout, with initial reports suggesting that he had died on his way to hospital. Fresh news from the autopsy reveals that Aguayo actually passed whilst the match was in progress, suffering three cracked vertebrae in his neck. The cause of death has been put down as cardiac arrest, and there have been reports that Mysterio was set to retire from wrestling as a result of the accident. Whether or not such news is 100% true remains unclear, but what is clear is that the events will have had a huge impact on all involved.
