World Wrestling Entertainment was informed Friday morning by Lance McNaught’s father that he has passed away of apparent heart failure. WWE extends its deepest condolences to the McNaught family. Mr. McNaught was under contract beginning March 2003, performing under the name "Lance Cade," and was released October 2008. He returned to FCW, WWE’s developmental territory, in September 2009, and was released in April 2010.

Latest:
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that the body of former WWE star Lance Cade was discovered earlier today by his father, Harley. As WWE has reported, the cause of death appears to be heart failure, however that has yet to be officially announced.
It's being said that two family members believed there was something wrong with Cade over the past week, including his wife Tracy who noticed he didn't look healthy and that he was having trouble breathing. Cade was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday night and he was later released on Wednesday.
One interesting note is that once he returned home, he later left and never returned. His father, Harley, noticed that Cade showed up at his work on Thursday and was not looking good at all. He later went to Cade's home in San Antonio, TX and discovered he had passed away. Cade was not believed to have been drinking.

This is so tragic. The wrestling world loses another talent way too young...
It also makes me very angry. Doesn't WWE have a duty of care to their employees? The man requested help with withdrawals from addiction and was (reportedly) ignored! Hell, if they are good enough to put former employees through detox, why can't they put their own through? Something is very wrong with this company.
IMO, WWE was negligent in how they dealt with Lance and must now face any repercussions.
R.I.P. Lance and sincerest condolences to his friends and family.

Where is the proof that the WWE denied to get him help? And it's not like the WWE forced any drugs or anything else on him. |
