TAMPA, FLA. (AP) -- Former pro wrestling champion Brian "Crush" Adams died Monday after he was found unconscious in his home. He was 44.

He showed no visible signs of injury and foul play was not suspected, police spokeswoman Janelle McGregor said. Authorities were awaiting autopsy results from the medical examiner before proceeding with their investigation.

Adams' wife, who was not identified, found her husband not breathing and called 911 about 11 a.m. Fire Rescue workers later pronounced him dead, McGregor said.

Adams, a former world tag team champion, last performed for the World Wrestling Federation in 2001 and served intermittently on the roster beginning in 1990, World Wrestling Entertainment said. WWE spokesman George Cabico had no further comment.

Adams death comes less than two months after pro wrestler Chris Benoit killed his wife and son before hanging himself on the cable of a weight machine in his Georgia home. Prescription anabolic steroids were found in the family's home, raising questions about whether the drugs played a role in the killings.

Wow. What is up with all these wrestlers dying lately?

Is this the guy who teamed with Brian Clark in Kronik? Those were some big dudes. I just remember him from his WCW days.

Wrestlers have been dying young for a long time now. It's not something new

cant say im shocked, im amazed Ric Flair is still kickin

Well he and Dusty Rhodes don't look much like the roid types

Not another one...

These wrestler's have been dying younger every year!
It is a sad state in the WWE , altho I dont watch it anymore since I was young....The fake show is losing actor's faster then they can make roids!

I've stopped counting... I care and I'm glad Congress is actually getting involved, even if it is only because of Roids maybe this will slow down, or hopefully stop all together.

Can you remember a time when it was quite this bad?

Now can anyone blame the Titans for not wanting Pacman involved in professional wrestling?

It wasn't this bad when the Roid explosion hit in the 1980's or even the federal trials took place in the early 1990's. It wasn't this bad... ever.

The WWF and wrestling as a whole always bounced back but if guys keep dropping like this, there won't be anyone left.

Thats why in my early post I called it the fake show...not to put down anyone, but that it just took a turn for the worst! imo
