Hegstrand died because of a heart attack

The Road Warriors, a professional wrestling tag team, were first who introduced bodybuilding-type muscularity in this sport. This tag team was composed of Hawk (Mike Hegstrand) and Animal (Joe Laurinaitis). Hegstrand died in 2003. His death was sudden because of a heart attack. This wrestler died at the age of 46. As it is known, popular media usually reports about deaths of professional wrestlers, linking the cases with use of anabolic steroids. The death of Hegstrand was not an exception. After the death of this professional wrestler a lot of articles appeared in newspapers that demonized anabolic steroids for this case.
Joe Laurinaitis admitted to intake of steroids by this professional wrestling team. But he pointed out that these medicines hadn’t lead to Hegstrand’s death. He added that other conditions were responsible for Hegstrand’s death as well as deaths of other wrestlers. Joe Laurinaitis noted that such drugs, as cocaine and Xanax had to be blamed for such cases. Laurinaitis confirmed that he wanted to explain that steroids had not been linked with death of Hegstrand.
Joe Laurinaitis claimed that cocaine and Xanax had caused the death of this wrestler. He also announced that these drugs led to deaths of such people, as Henning, Rick Rude and Davey Boy Smith. According to Laurinaitis, usage of cocaine often leads to administration of morphine. These drugs destruct health wholly and lead to heart attacks.
Why must words of Laurinaitis be true? He was in Australia with Hegstrand. He knows about what he talks. Recently this professional wrestler collaborated with Andrew William Wright to say about his experiences with “Hawk”.
