Chris Candido passes away - 1972-2005
April 29, 2005
World Wrestling Entertainment is saddened by the passing of Chris Candido.
Chris appeared in WWE as Skip of the Bodydonnas in the mid 1990s. He also competed for ECW and WCW, and held both the WWE and ECW World Tag Team titles and the WCW Cruiserweight Championship. He was an amazing athlete and a gifted performer, and we offer our deepest condolences to his family and friends.
Candido died during surgery when he suffered a blood clot..
TNA have a better summary:
TNA Wrestling joins the entire wrestling world in mourning the untimely death of Chris Candido on Thursday night.
TNA is deeply devastated by the loss of Chris, who touched the lives of millions of fans around the world during his successful career.
We hope everyone will keep Candido’s friends and family in their thoughts and prayers as we say goodbye to a friend
Early Friday morning, Chris Candido's brother Johnny posted the following message to fans on the USAProwrestling.net website:
"I find it only fitting you hear the truth from me about the death of my bestfriend, brother, and soulmate. Chris died tonight due to a blood clot brought on by complications with his surgery.
I just want to tell everyone that in their sorrow, find a way to be happy that he went out the way he wanted to...on top of the world, blonde, tan, and loving life up until the last minute. Every ounce of my brother loved this sport, and for him to go out 2 or 3 years ago wouldn't have been a fitting end to the life of such a determined, passionate, and benevolent human being.
I truly view my brother as an angel as will all who knew him. Thanks to everyone for all your positive press, Chris went out a happy man and will forever live on as the(one of) greatest of all time. He would have had it no other way."
