Ric Flair's son Reid died

[CaptainWacky]

He was a wrestler too. He was only 24. Pretty weird.

Wow, I wonder what happened to him.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Word is he'd had a heroin problem.

 

[Cassie]

That sucks... pro wrestling really needs to get a handle on the drug problem, but I guess the entire world needs to do the same.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I don' tkno wif it was really related to his wrestling. There's still no more word on what actually happened, just that Ric was the one who found him in his hotel room (dead.)

If it was heroin that he succumbed to, then I don't see what his occupation had to do with it -- unless he couldn't deal with not being as famous as his father. He was another lost soul who got hooked on something he thought he could handle. Another tragic end to a young life on the brink.
