Wrestling star Eddie Guerrero died of natural causes related to heart disease, said the Hennepin County Medical Examiner Thursday.

The medical examiner's office said Guerrero, who was found dead in his hotel room on November 13, died of "natural causes related to arteriosclerotic heart disease." That term is synonymous with coronary heart disease, a narrowing of the blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart.

The coroner's did not address what led to the heart trouble, although the wrestler's wife, Vickie Guerrero, said last month on WWE.com's website that his past substance abuse and aggressive workout regimen caused the heart disease.

Following Guerrero's death, WWE announced the institution of a drug testing policy to screen for steroids and other drugs.

"natural causes" at 38? Does that make anyone else shiver just a little?

no because look at Charlie Haas brother - he died of "natural causes" aswell and he was 27. It was heart disease, but that would be classed as a natural cause

Not really, still born babies die of natural causes. As do young children with all sorts of diseases. We all die at some point, be it natural of not, the only difference is what we do until then.

They seriously need to address the steroid use. Kurt Angle looks like a freak nowadays and you could hardly meet a more ideal "wrestler's" muscle than his when he arrived.

That should mean that the WWE will be down to about 3/4 wrestlers.............;)
