From 411mania.com
"Andrew Martin, best known for his days as Test in WWE, has been found dead in his apartment at the age of 33. He would have been 34 in four days. Authorities in Tampa, Florida, where Martin lived, have not provided any details yet. They have stated that a body was found in a condo, but have not confirmed that the body in question was Martin, however multiple people within the wrestling industry have confirmed that it was Martin's body that was found."
Sounds a little sketchy on whether or not it was actually Test, and 411 has jumped the gun on less serious things before, but, fuck if it's true.

Wow, that really sucks. It solidifies the notion that at the end of the wrestling career there is no fanfare, not except for a select few. I say this because well I think about the future everyday and what waits at the end of the tunnel. But for those who question the end, I still believe it will be worth it. Rest in Peace Andrew, I truely wish I would have been able to meet you bro.

So I guess it's been confirmed. A lot of reports are bringing up how he was pro-steroids in wrestling, as it was "cosmetic" more than anything.
But, fuck, 33 is way too young.

Yeah, I was reading one of the news articles, and it was just wrestlers who have died in the Tampa area in the past couple years. There was, like, 5 of them. Ridiculous.
