Another Former Pro Wrestler Dead … Former WWE Wrestler Andrew ‘Test’ Martin Found Dead in Tampa, FL Home

Posted in: Deceased,Main,Obituary,Sports,WTF

33 year old, former WWE Pro-wrestler, Andrew “Test” Martin was found dead in Test_wrestlerhis Tampa, FL home late Friday night at approximate 8 pm. Sadly, yet another member of the wrestling community has died at an age far too young. Police came to the home of Andrew Martin responding to a call from a concerned neighbor who had requested a welfare check. Former WWE wrestler Test was found dead just 4 days before his 34th birthday.

The cause of death wasn’t immediately known, but police said foul play isn’t suspected. An autopsy will be performed.

In July 2004 Martin had spinal fusion surgery. He was released from his WWE contract several months ago, MyFOXTampaBay.com reported.

Martin tried several unsuccessful comebacks after his injury, but failed a drug test and was suspended in February 2007, FOXSports.com reported.

In April 2008, Martin was arrested on a DUI charge in Tampa, FOXSports.com reported.

Police do not suspect foul play. An autopsy will be done to determine the cause of death

Of course the death, murder/suicide that most shocked the wrestling community and those outside wrestling was that of Chris Benoit and his wife and son.‘Roid” rage was suspected.

Having been a wrestling fan in my younger days and an admitted closet wrestling viewer from time to time, I must admit I was shocked to see all who have passed away at such young ages from my youth and others pretty recent. Check out this list of Famous Wrestlers That Have Died Since 1985 Before the Age of 65. Some are listed below of who some may be familiar with. Here’s another list  and another with cause of  death. Not all on this list have died of drug overdose, steroid use or the ever common heart attack; however, many have. One thing is for certain that far too many have died too young from the sports entertainment world of pro-wrestling for it to be a coincidence.
