2. Perro Aguayo Jr. Passes Away
You can’t get much safer and simpler than performing a simple dropkick but you can’t get any more of a devastating result than this one. Performing in a tag match against Rey Mystero, Perro took a dropkick that would set him up for Rey’s signature 619 move but Mysterio’s kick would be the last wrestling move Aguayo would ever be on the receiving end of. According to the initial announcement from the hospital, Aguayo died from a cervical spine trauma due to severe whiplash trauma that snapped his neck. The cause of death was later announced as cardiac arrest, due to a cervical stroke caused by three fractured vertebrae. Autopsy results showed that Aguayo broke his C1, C2, and C3 vertebrae. The coroner stated that the fractures took place at two different moments of impact and that Aguayo died almost instantly. Truly the definition of a freak accident.
