latino heat, EDDIE GUERRERO

1967-2005

"We will always miss you, esse!"

I was so shocked one night I went home from school (10:30 PM, November 14, 2005) when my sister told me that she saw on TV that LATINO HEAT EDDIE GUERRERO died. she never knew that cause bust all she she know is she saw it on TV.

I never believed it. I just watched him a week ago from a cable channel. He fought vigorously and seemed to be so alive. But not until I read this.

EDDIE GUERRERO’S CAUSE OF DEATH ANNOUNCED
by Mike Johnson @ 12:45:00 PM on 11/15/2005

Former WWE champion Eddie Guerrero passed away due to heart failure brought on by past drug and alcohol abuse, according to a statement made by his wife Vicki to WWE’s website this afternoon.

Guerrero told the website, "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."
