That is the nature of Pro Wrestling though, serious injury is an occupational hazard and there careers can be short by one mistimed/botched move
Reports state that Ong had suffered concussions prior to his death but decided to continue with his wrestling training. It may have been a contributing factor but, IIRC, it was indeterminable to state whether it was the cause of death.
BTW, if you like reading about wrestling sleaze (and lets face it there's a lot of it around) have you ever checked this out?

It's an archived thread from the Death Valley Driver forum compiling urban legends surrounding wrestling and wrestlers.
Although most of what's listed is probably bollocks, it's a funny, entertaining and interesting read.
It'll make you laugh I guarantee!!
