But yet they say they didn't find any evidence of drugs at the scene...

Still, unbelievable. I just read that he was commenting on mortality when Betty White passed. Wonder if it was on his mind.

One of our all time greats. Posted some amazing stats in an era when the passing game was nowhere near as advanced or prevalent as it is today, and was a big part of our sole SB winning side, even if injury prevented him being a factor in the big game itself.

Shane Warne has passed away after a heart attack at the age of 52. Unbelievably sad news and a terrible 24 hours or so for Australian cricket. Warne put spin bowling on the map, made it fashionable. It’s impossible to imagine just how many people he inspired to become spinners the moment he bowled Mike Gatting with THAT delivery.

As an England fan, there were few if any more unsettling sights than Warne bowling against us in the 4th innings, with Aussies crowded around the batsman. You just knew every ball was going to be an event. R.I.P to one of the greats…

Scott Hall, professional wrestler (WWE, WCW), co-founder of the NWO wrestling stable, and 2 time WWE Hall of Fame inductee who performed under both his legal name and the moniker of Razor Ramon, at age 63 following complications from hip surgery stemming from a fall.

Given what this guy has been through over the course of his career (substance abuse, PTSD stemming from a self-defense killing, etc), I'm actually surprised he lived this long.

This still saddens me. I grew up watching him wrestle in the 90s. He was always my favorite wrestling entertainer. The club shooting he was involved in messed him up

The fact that he entered the wrestling business at a time when it had a drug culture certainly didn't do him any favors (especially considering the fact that his mental health stemming from that shooting made him particularly vulnerable to substance abuse problems).

Oh, for sure. Those guys were roided out back then. I never saw him pre wwf, until recently. There was a massive difference. How the Rock looks now, is how Hall looked back then. I'm the same height as those guys, but they make me look like a stick figure
