Former World Wrestling Entertainment star Brian "Crush" Adams was found dead Monday in his Florida home, according to the Tampa Police Department.

Adams' wife called 911 after discovering her husband in bed unconscious and not breathing, but paramedics were unable to revive the 43-year-old World Tag Team champ, who retired from competitive wrestling in 2003 after suffering a spinal injury.

An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday to determine the cause of death and authorities and an investigation is underway. The police's incident report states that there were no visible injuries on Adams' body.

"I’m still in a state of shock right now," Ron Simmons, a retired pro and current WWE Raw personality, said in a posting on WWE.com. "He and I go way back and have worked together for years. He was a very good friend of mine. I still don’t want to believe it. I’m just saddened by it and I just want to wish his family well."

Adams, who rose to fame in the early 1990s as a member of the famed Demolition trio, left the WWE in 2001 to try his fists at boxing, but returned to wrestling after a shoulder injury forced him out of the ring before his first professional fight.

I almost posted this earlier today but decided against it. 2007 is a bad year for Pro-Wrestling.

Unbelievable! First Eddie, then Chris, now Crush!

There's actually a large list of wrestlers that have died this year. Senational Sherri, Bam Bam Biggelow, Mike Awesome, Bad News Brown, and many, many more sadly.

Actually, twenty-two wrestlers have died this year, as already noted by Michi. Many more memorable talents like Bam Bam Bigelow, Mike Awesome, Sherri


Fixed.

I hope the Disciple, Vincent, Scott Norton, Stevie Ray, and Horace are the pallbearers at the funeral.

Well, they have the black clothes already so why not? Their nWo gear needs some use anyway.

Wow, another Tampa wrestler. I actually saw Hulk Hogan at the airport once.

It has been an awful year for pro-wrestling indeed.

Heard about this the other day when it was fresh news. This just puts me in awe from a wide spectrum standpoint. So many losses in so little time, it's like some higher power is starting a promotion of its own. I know it's just speculation now, but I think he died the same way Eddie did: his body just broke down after years of intense training and drug-dabbling. Sad... just sad... :(

Professional wrestling favourate "The Missing Link" has died of cancer, although he was 81.

Wow...what the heck is going on here?! I mean, really, how many wrestlers can die in one year?!
