RIP Killer Kowalski

[Bmwolf21]

EVERETT, Mass. -- Pro wrestling pioneer Walter "Killer" Kowalski died early Saturday from the effects of a massive heart attack. He was 81.

 

Kowalski died at Whidden Hospital in Everett, 12 days after his family decided to take him off life support. He had been in critical condition in the hospital since his heart attack on Aug. 8, wife Theresa Kowalski said.

 

"I was right beside him. I put my hand on his chest, I felt his breathing slow down and his heart beat stop," she said. "The doctor said he was brain dead ... I was waiting, hoping somebody could do something.

"We've been together over 10, but we've been married for two years. He was a bachelor all his life. He was a wonderful man, never drank, never smoked and he was a vegetarian for almost 60 years."

 

Aside from the obligatory "why would you want to live to 81 if you're not going to drink, smoke or eat meat" comment it's obvious it must have been the steroids. I mean 81-year-olds don't just drop dead of massive heart attacks.

so he lived for 12 days off of life support... that doesn't seem like the "humane" way to let someone die in dignity. Either way, RIP
