Another ECW guy goes quite young, right after Hack Myers.

 

I enjoyed Axl with Balls; and his series with Ian was like the Guerrero-Malenko series for death matches.

Does anybody know what the cause of death was? I heard he was found in a McDonalds!? (According to my FB feed anyway.)

 

PW Insider said hotel room.

 

EDIT: Actually, they corrected it - he was indeed found in a McDonald's near the hotel he was staying in.

I know the guy was trying to keep clean, so I'm really hoping it wasn't a relapse. I'd really hate to see that for his lasting memory.

 

I told Terry Simms this one day: the more I learn about the business, the more I hate it.

Axl was on Cabana's podcast maybe a year ago now, talking about overcoming his addiction problems. This seems particularly tragic in that light.
