In a post on his Facebook profile, Sid’s son Gunnar Eudy
gave an update on his father’s death, revealing two
previously unknown conditions.
Gunnar wrote that Sid was diagnosed with congestive heart
failure and atrial fibrillation in 2016 and walked around
with a pacemaker. But five years later in 2021, the former
WWF and WCW champion received news that he had stage 4 non-
Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
“Although he never told anyone about his fight against
cancer, Sid lived his life to the fullest, attending the
gym, boxing classes, making appearances for his fans, and of
course t-ball games for the kids,” he wrote.
He added that his father passed away peacefully in his bed
and left behind a legacy of strength and determination.
“I’ve never met anyone with a fraction of the strength as my
father he truly was one of a kind,” he continued, thanking
all the fans for the uplifting words and love shown in the
thousands of messages the family received.
