Death
On January 7, 2000, Albright wrestled at a World Xtreme Wrestling show in Hazleton, Pennsylvania against Lucifer Grimm (real name Bill Owens). After being hit with a three-quarter facelock bulldog, Albright collapsed to the canvas. A worried Grimm rolled Albright on top of himself to finish the match after which concerned wrestlers and ring crew tried to resuscitate him. Albright was pronounced dead shortly after being removed from the ring.
The official cause of death is listed as a heart attack. The medical examiners also found that Albright suffered from diabetes, had an enlarged heart, and blockage of several coronary arteries. Because it was determined that Albright died of natural causes, the police were never involved in the matter.
Albright was survived by his sister, Patti Albright Crain, nephew Travis Dickenson, great nephew Orion Dickenson, of Pensacola; wife Monica Anoa’i, his son Samuel, and two daughters, Angelica and Alexandria.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“The dignity to be sought in death is the appreciation by others of what one has been in life,... that proceeds from a life well lived and from the acceptance of ones own death as a necessary process of nature.... It is also the recognition that the real event taking place at the end of our life is our death, not the attempts to prevent it.”
—Sherwin B. Nuland (b. 1930)
“Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighters honor.”
—Ernest Hemingway (18991961)
“You know, if this is Venus, or some other strange planet, were liable to run into some high-domed characters with green blood in their veins wholl blast at us with their atomic death rayguns, and there well be with thesethese poor old-fashioned shootin irons.”
—Edward L. Bernds (b. 1911)
