The Tragic Death Of The Ultimate Warrior
James Hellwig died on April 8, 2014, in Scottsdale, Arizona. Specifically, according to TMZ, he and his wife were walking outside a hotel when he clutched his chest and collapsed. He was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later. A later autopsy report would reveal that he died of atherosclerotic/arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. He was survived by his wife Dana, his two daughters, his mother, his two sisters, and his two brothers, according to WWE.com.
What made Warrior's death particularly tragic was that he'd spent over a decade being estranged from the very industry that had made him a household name, and yet he died just days after he made peace with it. Specifically, the night before he died, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, according to a companion TMZ report. A few days prior to that, he'd even made his first appearance on "Monday Night Raw" in several years.
