RIP Johnny Grunge

This happened a few days ago: Johnny Grunge, half of one of hardcore wrestling's legendary tag-teams The Public Enemy died due to sleep apnea.

His partner Rocco Rock (Ted Petty) died in 2002, now they're together.

TPE were innovators of the hardcore style, and were also proof that a wrestler didn't have to look like a chiseled bodybuilder to do feats of acrobatics. The team were both hefty, and seeing big guys do somersault planchas was incredible to see.

Sadly that weight led to his death. Sleep apnea is a condition of being overweight, as the fat cuts off access to oxygen. The victim passes out, and in his case just didn't wake up.
