Eddie Guerrero's autopsy report came in, and we now know what caused his death. This is an excert I took from WWE.com of Eddie's wife, Vicky explaining the report.
“It was heart failure. It was from his past - the drinking and the drug abuse. They found signs of heart disease. She (the examiner) said that the blood vessels were very worn and narrow, and that just showed all the abuse from the scheduling of work and his past. And Eddie just worked out like crazy all the time. It made his heart grow bigger and work harder and the vessels were getting smaller, and that’s what caused the heart failure. He went into a deep sleep.
As soon as they saw his heart, they saw the lining of his heart already had the heart disease. There was no trauma, and Eddie hadn’t hurt himself in any way. It answered a lot of questions. I knew Eddie wasn’t feeling very good for the last week. He was home and kept saying he wasn’t feeling good and we thought it was just “road tired.” So we thought he just had to rest. It answered a lot of my questions, too, because he was just so exhausted. She said it was normal because the heart was working so hard."
So him being sober for four years was true. At least I know that, now. It was his hard work and dedication to the wrestling business that did him in. He literally "worked himself to death." I can't blame him for that though. It was his life.
THANK YOU, LATINO HEAT!!! VIVA LA RASA!!!
