Wow no...
Like others have mentioned, I hope it's not drug related.
RIP Sean, my thoughts are with his loved ones.

O' Haire's run with the Natural Born Thrillers was okay in WCW and even that MSG Invasion as well when him and Palumbo attacked The Hardy Boys and The Dudley Boys only to get their ass thrashed by the entire WWF stars. Epic Moment that the WWF did that to O' Haire and Palumbo.

Sad to hear. Ton of potential that sadly went untapped.
A lot of people are saying the WWE buried him but I'd say it was 50/50 on both sides. Yes the WWE ruined his great "Devil's Advocate" gimmick before it even started by teaming him with Piper, but it is also well documented that he had a bad attitude backstage. I think both sides are at fault and its a shame because he had the talent to be a top heel.

Damn this is a huge bummer. It's always sad to see a Wrestler go.
I'll always remember his cool forearm tats/look, his WWE theme, those Vignettes, the Widowmaker, and the time he beat up the Easter Bunny with a Kendo Stick at Vengeance 2003. He could of been a bigger star no doubt.

I remember really digging him when he came to the WWE. Felt he could have been such a bigger deal than he turned out to be. And am I the only one who thought he looked like Adam Gontier (3DG former singer) and Brendan Fraser mixed?
RIP.

A real shame to hear, he was quite talented in WCW and sadly never got a real go in the WWE.
RIP

This isn't being reported anywhere else. I hope it's not true. I loved this guy in WCW and always wished they did more with him in WWE. At least I got see him wrestle a ton of times at OVW.

I've said this before & I'll say it again. His "Devil's Advocate" gimmick in 2003 IMO, could of been amazing. So much that I'd say its easily in the top 5 of the biggest misused characters in WWE history.
With that being said, this is very sad to hear about. Thoughts & prayers with his family.

crap! He weren't that old either was he? He was 45. It's going to be either drug related or suicide I'm guessing. If I had to take a stab in the dark, I would say heart failure due to steroids or something of that ilk. I loved him an Palumbo as a team and really dug the Natural Born Thrillers in general. Sorry to hear the news. Edit - I guess he was 43. I read somewhere else he was 45, but that was not correct.

Rest In Peace Sean O' Haire. It sucks he died, and he was only 43 too which isn't old by many standards.

Too many guys in the business are taken way before their time should have been up.

R.I.P. O'Haire. Miss the infamous duo of Jindrak and O'Haire in late 2000 with O'Haire performing Swanton Bombs off the top rope.
