R.I.P. Brickhouse Brown (Cancer) - UPDATE: STILL ALIVE! - UPDATE 7/29: Really passed away this time. :(

[C.S.]

A Memphis mainstay.

From B. Brian Blair's Twitter:

Damn. As if the death itself wasn't bad enough, to find out it's because he had no insurance and could only take pain meds while waiting out the rest of his days is downright tragic.

I wish the Cauliflower Alley Club could have found out sooner. They do great work for retired pro wrestlers.

This is sad. Rest in Peace.

I didn't even know that he died from cancer. Just horrible to think that he pretty much had to live his last days like this.

Brickhouse Brown was one of the most underrated if not the most underrated African-American wrestler ever...Quite the solid hand in the ring.

God damn. What an awful way to go.

RIP Brickhouse Brown aka the black prince aka MC Slammer. Black Birds, Uptown Posse and Reggie B Fine Enterprises represent

Thank you so much George, but stop the tape. Brickhouse is Mother Victoria just called me to inform me that Brick was still alive and woke up, somehow,  last night and said he was hungry. Stay tuned as this is not over, unbelievable! I'll write what happened on my Facebook page.

So I don't know what's happening here.

[SirEdger]

Now, that's good news.

Is there an authoritative source other than one half of the Killer Bees who has updates on the fate of Brick? Need verification from the likes of Sir Reggie, Action Jackson or Sweet Daddy Falcone.

[C.S.]

Well, wow, I was not expecting this turnaround. Awesome news!

I'll update the thread title (if I can).

Really hope he can get some help for his cancer now. No one should die without even getting proper treatment.

Brickhouse is still alive. Various MS wrestlers have posted pics taken yesterday. Seems Brickhoyse's mom jumped the gun reporting his death.

Somehow Brickhouse is the saddest among all three wrestlering deaths today. Finding out that you have cancer in an early stage and not having the money to treat it is just horrible. It's hard not getting political about things like that.
