(Posted on WWE.com)

"Michael Lockwood passes away
World Wrestling Entertainment is saddened by the loss of Michael Lockwood, known professionally as Crash Holly. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Michael's friends and family."

Man, what number is he of wrestlers that has passed away this year? In a way I feel really sad for his loss... maybe because he was young? I dno, but it's really sad

Peanut · 11-06-2003, 07:36 PM

WHAT!?! How did he die? I don't understand this.

*JameO* · 11-06-2003, 07:39 PM

So many of them going so fast. Yeah how did he die. This sucks all the wrestlers dying off now.

I'm just guessing, but I'd say car accident due to drunk driving (he's a known drunk) or suicide. RIP Crash

Just seen this now:

"We now have several more details on the death of Crash Holly.

We have been told he was found around 1EST at the home of current WWE superstar Steven Richards. The two were very good friends and had traveled with each when Crash was involved with WWE.

We have one unconfirmed report that Crash may have choked on his own vomit. He was just 34 years old.

We are trying to get more details and will pass them along all night and during the day tomorrow. We are truly saddened by this and are really at a loss for words. Rest in Peace Crash (Michael), you'll be missed."

So he was only 34

Thats really really sad

It's sad enough to die in your 40s or 50s, but in your THIRTIES?

Either he stopped learning, or he learned so much that his brain blew up (my great-grandmother once said that the day you die is the day you learn nothing new, that's what I mean).

Wow, that is one of the best quotes I have ever heard

Props to your grandma

He must have died in a car "crash" haha!

No, he didnt die in a car, plane, boat, bicycle, rollerblade, anything crash as they found him at the home of Steven Richards... im 99.99999% sure it was an accidently death (like choking or something) or drug related... not something like a crash, electrocution, etc :\

~~Leo656~~ · 11-06-2003, 09:46 PM

I posted this on the yahoo list... some comments were made by another poster regarding several other wrestlers' deaths, specefically the theories that Road Warrior Hawk died of natural causes and that Davey Boy Smith was murdered... I add my own two cents in... just making sure it's all in context...

---------------------------------

Well for one, alcohol may be a legal drug but it is still a drug. If he was drinking that much, then yes, he did have a "drug problem" because consuming alcohol to the point of sickness is plain not healthy.

But again, statistically speaking, people in their 30s and 40s do NOT "die in their sleep of a heart attack" without some sort of catalyst. Hawk is most likely dead because he HAD a drug problem, one he admitted to many times. He was an admitted abuser of steroids, alcohol, cocaine and other substances, and that lifestyle more than likely had a LOT to do with his death, even if said abuse took place in the past. If his autopsy comes back saying he had an enlarged heart, I will refrain from saying "I told you so" out of respect.

Likewise, people in their late 20s and early 30s like Crash Holly don't puke, choke, and die unless they were doing something wrong. Could have been alcohol, could have been alcohol and pills (which is what I'm guessing and is how Miss Elizabeth died), could have been something else entirely, but plain and simply the only tragedy involved is that so many wrestlers are dying, as you've said, and yet they all persist in thinking "it won't happen to me". They think it only happens to the older, washed up ex-steroid junkies in their 40s.

Well now one of their own got it. If this doesn't shake the people in the business up, then they're ALL too far gone to even pray for anymore. I, personally, have given up. If they all think they're invincible and that they can drink and pop pills and snort coke and do steroids and never suffer any repercussions, that's their prerogative. But you will never again hear me utter a word of sympathy for any professional wrestler who dies of causes that were well within their control. I'm fed up.

As for Davey Boy Smith, I think it's a lot like how Fritz Von Erich never wanted to admit all of his kids were drug addicts either. Davey Boy was, plain and simple, a huge steroid abuser as well as a longtime abuser of painkillers, alcohol, cocaine, crack, and I'm sure several others, whose autopsy showed that he died of complications involving an enlarged heart. The only mystery is the one Davey Boy's father insisted on shoveling to the press when Davey died. Nobody took it seriously, and with good reason, just like nobody within his friends and family were really surprised that he died.

Y'know what's even more tragic than the fact that Davey Boy Smith died? The fact that his son has said that he plans on experimenting with steroids to improve his look so he can be a success in the wrestling business like his father. Yeah, he was a success alright, kid...

I know I'm bitter. It's because I'm TIRED of this ****.

"Likewise, people in their late 20s and early 30s like Crash Holly don't puke, choke, and die unless they were doing something wrong."

wtf? I puke when i'm sick... he could have had the flu and puked and choked on it in his sleep... don't leave out any possibilities

It could be ANYTHING

SlayerX · 11-06-2003, 10:17 PM

We keep getting more and more information throughout the night on the passing of Michael Lockwood (Crash Holly/Mad Mikey). Here is the latest as well as a rundown of what we know and have reported. Keep in mind its very early and things are real sketchy right now.

Crash was partying at Steven Richard's house on Wednesday night. There was alcohol involved. The two went to sleep late Wednesday night/Thursday morning after drinking. We have received an unconfirmed report that Crash choked on his own vomit this morning; likely due to heavy drinking; if not other things that we wont speculate on yet.

Several months ago, we reported that Crash had been released from WWE. The reason for his release was due to a variety of reasons, one being his way of 'living on the edge' and heavy partying. Many in the lockerroom at the time felt it was a distraction to his career and it was starting to hurt him.

Hopefully more to come later

If im not in bed lmao..

**GK Punk** · 11-07-2003, 07:18 AM

I can't believe Crash died. That's such a downer. I'll miss seeing him on NWA -_-

I'm gonna miss that little MF'er.

((Throws up the V1 sign to the sky in honor of Crash))

*That Matt Guy* · 11-07-2003, 08:06 AM

Choked on his own vomit, huh. That's the same way Bon Scott and Jimmy Hendrix died.

~~Leo656~~ · 11-09-2003, 08:06 PM

An article is up at a few websites talking about the funeral arrangements for Crash, as well as quotes from his widow. Looks like I was right, and that drugs were indeed part of his death...

---------------------------

Lockwood's widow, Christeena, stated the following:

"I was devastated. I couldn't believe what I was hearing."

She and Crash were actually seperated at the time. Crash was living with good friend Steven Richards. He was found dead in Richards' home.

As for the cause of his death, Christeena said the following:

"I know there are lots of things on the Internet about his death, but they're not true. And I don't want to say how he died because I'm afraid people will look at him negatively."

That's just going to lead to more speculation until we know for sure what happened.

~~Leo656~~ · 11-10-2003, 06:38 AM

'S what I'm sayin'. Like we didn't already know he had a bad drug/alcohol problem, that's why he got fired from WWE in the first place.

I'm sad now! That's terrible!
