Oof - I had only read about a “medical emergency” and presumed it was a heart attack.
Medical Emergency?
Steroids do that
No relation to Butcher Hicks?
So there was a death at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser at a former Catholic church?
“So there was a death at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser at a former Catholic church?”. There’s a message in there somewhere...
Yeah - basically “he died after a medical emergency was declared while he was wrestling during the event.”
Did not read anywhere that it was a pp fundraiser.
