TMZ.COM is reporting that Andy Williams, who performed as
The Butcher in AEW, passed away after collapsing at an indie
wrestling event promoted by Enjoy Wrestling.
The event was held at Mr. Smalls Theatre in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania and it was canceled immediately after the
medical incident occurred.
According to eye witness reports, Williams collapsed and was
helped by his tag team partner The Blade and others before
medics made their way out and performed CPR and used a
defibrillator. He was taken to the Allegheny General
Hospital where unfortunately his life could not be saved.
Williams, 48, was a former guitarist for the metal band
Every Time I Die and transitioned to wrestling in 2010. He
signed with AEW in 2019 along with his partner The Blade
where he remained under contract until this June.
