Mini Murder!

Two Mexican midget wrestlers apparently found murdered in their D.F. hotel

From Wrestling Observer:

"--Brothers Roberto and Alejandro Mejia, who wrestled as La Parkita (I think
the original from AAA 15 years ago, not the one on AAA in recent years) and
Espectro II, were both found dead near Arena Coliseo yesterday in a hotel
room. The police believe they went to Room 52 of Hotel Moderno with two
prostitutes at 6 p.m. Sunday night. The manager went to the room on Monday
when they hadn't checked out, nobody answered the door, and when they opened
the door to clean the room, both bodies were found in bed and were dead.
The belief is they were drugged and robbed by the prostitutes, as none of
their belongings were found. Both were 35. They are both younger brothers
of the original Espectrito, who was the superstar mini with Mascara Sagrada
from the early days of AAA. La Parkita had wrestled in the U.S. with
CHIKARA."

Oh no! Stupid prostitutes! Tiny people don't need as much drugs to knock them out as regular sized people!

This would make much better fiction than the mexican-wrestling themed episode of CSI a few months back.

Not sure if you're a fan of the Japanese stuff, but what do you make of Misawa's death?

Misawa's a legend and his death was tragic, but he died like he lived. In the ring. This, on the other hand, was just pointless and depressing. These guys died for no other reason than some hooker couldn't do the math right for their size.

I heard someone died in the ring in Mexico once, and the match kept going (tag-team, of course).

Athletes have been fatally injured in the ring, but the practice has always been to rush legit injuries off the floor via stretcher and get them out of public view. Someone may have been, in essence, accidentally killed in the ring (or from a dive outside the ring), but would have been declared dead in the lockeroom, possibly with the match continuing in the meantime. Something like this tragedy: http://www.luchawiki.org/index.php?title=Oro

I can't imagine someone being treated on the mat, dying, and then having the bell ring a few minutes later. Although this didn't stop a certain notorious American PPV... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Edge_(1999)
