Unhappy RIP Curt "Mr. Perfect" Henning

Medical Examiner: Cocaine Killed Pro Wrestler Curt Hennig

The Associated Press
Published: Mar 25, 2003


TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A cocaine overdose killed professional wrestler
Curt "Mr. Perfect" Hennig, who was found dead in a hotel room in February, the medical examiner's office said. Hennig, 44, of Champlin, Minn., died from "acute cocaine intoxication," said Shernea Tippins, an investigator for the Hillsborough County
Medical Examiner's Office.

The office did not release any other information Tuesday about
Hennig's death. Hennig was scheduled to wrestle at the Florida State Fair in Tampa on Feb. 10. A housekeeper at the Homestead Suites Hotel in the Tampa suburb of Brandon found Hennig dead in a room about 1:30 p.m. that day, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.

Hennig, the son Minneapolis wrestler Larry "The Axe" Hennig, wrestled professionally for more than 30 years, according to an online biography.

He worked for the World Wrestling Federation and most recently
wrestled for Jimmy Hart All-Star Wrestling. Hart was promoting the event at the fair. He said a referee associated with the event had spoken with Hennig at about 9:30 a.m. that day. Later, the housekeeper entered the room when Hennig didn't respond to
repeated knocks on the door, Hart said. During the late 1980s and early '90s Hennig had a successful run in the WWF, performing with such stars as Hulk Hogan, Kerry Von Erich, Bret
Hart and Ric Flair.

WOW! I just found this thread!
I'm sorta shocked (but not entirely cuz this is wrestling we're talking about). How unfortunate and sad. Such a waste...and because of drugs Mr. Perfect really wasn't perfect afterall. I hope that the WWE does some positive campaigning against drug abuse and what it can result in
