Enjoy Wrestling co-owner Kurt Hackimer issued a statement to
the KDKA-TV, the CBS affiliate in Pittsburgh, regarding what
happened on Saturday night when Andy Williams collapsed at
the indie event.
According to Hackimer, the medics who provided assistance at
the event indicated that the symptoms were similar to that
of a cardiac event but an official cause of death won’t be
known until the results of the autopsy are released.
The full statement reads:
“Andy collapsed at ringside after his match on Saturday and
hit his head on the floor. We carried him to the side where
he was attended to by the two doctors we have on staff.
I called for an ambulance. At this time, he was conscious
but unresponsive. His condition worsened quickly and his
pulse faded. Called 911 again to provide an update and were
informed that the police were about to arrive.
We ended the event and asked the audience to leave. Doctors
administered CPR and utilized an AED provided by the police
until the ambulance arrived.
He was taken to Allegheny General Hospital at around 9:45PM
and we were informed of his passing by his tag team partner,
Jesse Guilleman, shortly after midnight.
Medics on site indicated that the symptoms were consistent
with a cardiac event, but we were told that the cause of
death is pending the results of an autopsy.”
