sadly, another one gone too soon.
it appears that complications from the badly broken ankle he suffered at last sunday's all-cage PPV led to his death, as according to a post from his brother Jonny on another message board, a blood clot that resulted from the surgery to repair his ankle killed him. |

After being knocked outta my chair when I read this thread, it's now all over the internet sheets. How can a guy be totally fine one day, wrestle on a tv taping, and die so quickly?
Chris Candido Passes Away At Age 33

Chris Candito (aka Chris Candido) passed away earlier today at the age of 33.
Details of his death are still sketchy right now. There are conflicting reports about the cause of death, and police in Matawan, New Jersey, where he lives, were not able to confirm his death.
Candito suffered a bad leg injury at the TNA Lockdown pay-per view this past Sunday, and underwent surgery for the injury on Monday. He then appeared at the TNA Impact! tapings as a manager on Tuesday night before returning home.
Candido was a big part of the Impact! show that will air tomorrow on FOX Sports, interfering and leading to The Naturals winning the NWA tag-team titles over America's Most Wanted.

CHRIS CANDIDO'S BROTHER COMMENTS ON CANDIDO'S PASSING AND CAUSE
by Mike Johnson (PWI) @ 2:30:00 AM on 4/29/2005
Chris Candido's brother Johnny posted the following message on the USAProWrestling.net message board this evening:
"I find it only fitting you hear the truth from me about the death of my bestfriend, brother, and soulmate. Chris died tonight due to a blood clot brought on by complications with his surgery.
I just want to tell everyone that in their sorrow, find a way to be happy that he went out the way he wanted to...on top of the world, blonde, tan, and loving life up until the last minute. Every ounce of my brother loved this sport, and for him to go out 2 or 3 years ago wouldn't have been a fitting end to the life of such a determined, passionate, and benevolent human being.
I truly view my brother as an angel as will all who knew him. Thanks to everyone for all your positive press, Chris went out a happy man and will forever live on as the(one of) greatest of all time. He would have had it no other way."
