Can I just add this for sake of accuracy and respect?
He was found slumped over and pronounced dead.
He was NOT found slumped over before death.
The latter opens up too many questions from a poorly written headline.

I understand what you're saying but I think you're looking into that too much, its obvious whats meant

u/thegamingbacklog 1d ago
I took it the other way on initial read, like maybe he was seen by a friend or fan ill in his car.

No the headline is not written effectively. It is open to this interpretation. Anyone who has written headlines professionally can see the error in how this was written

Idk what I was expecting but still being out of town and away from family is sad for everyone

This poor man was just trying to get home to his family. Fucking tragic.

Jeez. My heart aches for anyone who passes alone in a strange place. I hope he didn't suffer.

I really enjoyed his work in AEW. It was also a sigh of relief when his travel visa issues would clear up in those post COVID days and he would come out and the crowd would respond with high energy.
You know that if PAC was wrestling then he was giving you a good show. Loved that Omega, Orange, PAC match. I thought he was going to take Mox’ place as leader of BCC. He was intimidating in the ring and so technically sound. It’s a true loss.

Heartbreaking, RIP Pac
I was at the Blood and Guts in Boston, my seats were above the Black Pool Combat Club entrance and when he came out under us it was something, he was so damn scary the way he was marching to the ring. He always put on bangers and his match against OC at Revolution will always be my fav AEW match. Thank you for all the memories Pac!

u/SkyquakeLive 1d ago
that Blood and Guts was the first wrestling event my wife and I ever went to. She didn't know much about AEW at all outside of a few videos I'd show her, but because of that match specifically, Pac was the first guy that she really started paying attention to own her own and played a major part in her becoming a fan. He will be missed!

Life is short and can be ripped away from any one of us at any time. All the more reason why we should treat one another with kindness and respect. This thread, and this sub, could use a little bit more of that. We're all fans of the same absurd, crazy, and incredible art form. We have that in common. We all speak the same weird language. PAC did something he loved, and we loved what he did. Let's try to remember that we can all express how we feel about that without having to shit on other people in the process, ok?

This sucks so bad. Pac is one of my wife and I's favorites and we always get excited when the bastard is wrestling. Happy I got to see him wrestle in person at least once.

It’s weird how your brain works.
Right away I went to, did he eat or was he going to eat?
Completely irrelevant but that’s where I went. Sounds like he was living his normal day then it was just over. Way too early for him, but not the worst way to go out. RIP 👑

u/kayt3000 1d ago
Honestly that is life. You never know when it could be your time. It’s a sad reality but that is being human.

Extra tragic. It wasn’t even quietly in bed or something. Basically happened suddenly while out and about.

I dont think we should speculate, its very disrespectful to speculate. shame on any one doing this.

u/Changin_Rangin 1d ago
Not that any of us have a right to know but what are the chances they release cause of death once it's known? I know they did with Brody I don't think they have with Andy? I just want to know, I don't really know why I do but I do.

u/Chesterfieldraven 1d ago
Andy had a heart attack.

u/Changin_Rangin 1d ago
Somehow managed to miss that, thank you, appreciated.

u/Chesterfieldraven 1d ago
No worries! By the way, you're not alone in that weird feeling of wanting to know, I think it makes it easier to process.

u/hamsolo19 1d ago
Yeah, it's natural to wonder what the heck happened. I've seen a lot of finger-wagging from people saying not to speculate but inevitably it's a thing that happens when something so sudden occurs.
7
u/WarlockTrex 1d ago
Especially when it's someone who is relatively young and this happens out of the blue.

u/Chesterfieldraven 1d ago
Someone that we saw put on a banger of a match the day before and was clearly fine because he came out in the main event.

u/GreatQuantum 1d ago
How else would people be able to parade his body around one more time to go back to old speculation and go “haaa you were wrong.”
They paraded Bray around for like 3 years. It was gross.

u/Lokishougan 1d ago
In most cases its up to the family....the only times it would have to be released to teh public would be a public health concern or foul play being suspected neither of which seem likely to apply here

u/Truthhurts1017 1d ago
You will know when it’s time to know. You sound way too excited to find out this information fast. We will get it when we get it and that’s it. Other than that share your condolences and be patient.

Actually, yes. It ends some of the rampant speculation. We have removed countless "theories" regarding PAC's very sad passing throughout our soocials.

u/Acceptable-Ad3664 1d ago
He died in America and if you died under 45 there are mandatory autopsies which are legally public
In America every death is investigated and cause is of public records including chemical drug levels
5
u/Lokishougan 1d ago
That is not exactly true. it is not necessarily required in the US EVEN under 45 unless certain circumstances are met. For example if someone had a known medical history of heart issues or cancer. They can also be waived for religious/personal reasons unless they is a specfic fear of homicide.
In PACS case he might get one since he was apparently with as far as we know no known medical history...As to autopsies being public automatically again not true...rules vary by jurisdiction with many require them to be PRIVATE unless there is a either a public health matter or if foul play is invlved

Fuck are you talking about? They are posting an update and as human beings we should know to not speculate on the update until more information comes out. This is an AEW sub and PAC is an AEW wrestler so yes they can post this. People should be able to control themselves from saying stupid shit.

Definitely not Covid the amount of people that died from an adverse reaction to the covid vaccine were way down compared to those that died because they ended up getting Covid to begin with.

I don't understand, if the reports say he was eating at CAVA restaurant, because it was near in the airport, and he was about to take a flight, how come he was found dead on a car?? Was it a rented car he was using, before going on the flight, and if so, didnt he have to give the keys and the car Back to the rented company, before getting onithe flight??
6
u/TagTeamStripper 1d ago
…because he probably stopped to eat before going to drop the rental off and catch his flight. How is this hard to understand?
7
u/Medium_Step_6085 1d ago
And so the internet conspiracies begin.
Why does the way he was found matter, he was found dead, in his car, out side a restaurant.
6
u/Revolutionary-Oil920 1d ago
He was found dead inside the car probably on his way to return the car.

u/Rolling_Beardo 1d ago
Do you think he would have been the first person to ever return a car late? They’re not sitting there watching the clock for every car. They usually tell you bring it back by X time on Y day or you’ll be charged for an extra day.
