Death
Smith died on May 18, 2002, after suffering a heart attack while on vacation in Invermere, British Columbia with his girlfriend, Andrea Hart. He was 39 years old. An autopsy revealed that past anabolic steroid use may have played a part in his death; however, no certain reason was found. Bruce Hart claimed "Davey paid the price with steroid cocktails and human-growth hormones."
Before his death, Smith had been training with the intent of resuming his career, and had wrestled in three tag team matches with his son, Harry Smith, the previous weekend.
