Okay, so I was watching some old wrestling matches the other day, and it got me thinking about Eddie Guerrero. What a legend, right? But it also made me remember how sad it was when he passed. I couldn’t quite recall the details, so I decided to do some digging.
First, I just did a quick search. You know, typed in “how did Eddie Guerrero die” to get the basic info. I wanted a general overview before diving deeper.
The initial results gave me the main points:
- He died on November 13, 2005.
- He was found in a hotel room in Minneapolis.
- The cause of death was acute heart failure.
Okay, so heart failure, that’s what I kind of remembered. But I wanted to know more. Like, what led up to it? Was it sudden? So I started looking for more in-depth articles, maybe some news reports from back then or some interviews with people who were close to him.
I found some more detailed accounts and learned that his nephew, Chavo Guerrero, actually found him in the hotel room. So, it wasn’t just that that discovered Eddie, his own family did that must be terrible.
It mentioned something called “atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.”
I learned it’s basically a buildup of plaque in the arteries, which, you know, restricts blood flow. That made a lot more sense in terms of understanding the heart failure.
So, putting it all together, Eddie Guerrero died of acute heart failure due to underlying atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. It was sudden and unexpected, which is why it was such a shock to everyone. It’s really sad, but at least I understand what happened now.
