Eddie Guerrero Death
Wrestling star Eddie Guerrero died of natural
causes related to heart disease, said the
Hennepin County Medical Examiner.
The
medical examiner's office said Guerrero, who was
found dead in his hotel room on November 13,
2005 died of "natural causes related to
arteriosclerotic heart disease." That term is
synonymous with coronary heart disease, a
narrowing of the blood vessels that supply blood
and oxygen to the heart.
The coroner's
did not address what led to the heart trouble,
although the wrestler's wife, Vickie Guerrero,
said on WWE.com's website that his past
substance abuse and aggressive workout regimen
caused the heart disease.
Following
Guerrero's death, WWE announced the institution
of a drug testing policy to screen for steroids
and other drugs.
