Drug overdose...that causes the heart to stop too.
At the time, Luger looked like he would be implicated in her death
but no charges were filed.

This is what gets me. Guys like these and Michael Vick doing stupid things. If I'm taking something illegal it's getting mailed to my buddies house who in turn makes a small profit to keep my name out of it. Like Vick though get a private jet and pay a yearly fee and buy hours on it when you need to travel. No airports to deal with, smoke all of the weed you want. I think you pay 250 grand then you buy hours on it a few days in advance and go where you want too. Plus dudes a millionaire and carrying an ounce or less of the stuff. I'd had someone in my posse claim it was theirs or just thrown it away. Lastly who is this guys P.R. people? He just keeps bringing it back up when everyone else droppedit. He's now saying that was where he keeps his jewelry.

Most of them were on way more than just steroids and a few were probably not even on steroids at all. They were all abusing painkillers, amphetamines, and sleeping pills back then. That is what being on the road wrestling matches 330 days a year will do to you.

But, all their hearts stopped beating when most men should be healthy.
