Laurinaitis claimed that cocaine and Xanax were responsible for Hegstrand’s death

The professional wrestling tag team the Road Warriors were first who introduced bodybuilding-type muscularity in this sport. Hawk (Mike Hegstrand) and Animal (Joe Laurinaitis) have been comprised this tag team. Hegstrand died in 2003. His death came suddenly because of a heart attack. Mike Hegstrand died at the age of 46. As it is known, popular media usually reports about deaths of professional wrestlers, linking the cases with intake of anabolic steroids. The death of Hegstrand was not an exception. After the death of this wrestler numerous articles appeared in newspapers that blamed anabolic steroids for this case.
Joe “Animal” Laurinaitis admitted to usage of steroids by this professional wrestling team. But he pointed out that these products hadn’t caused Hegstrand’s death. He added that other aspects were responsible for Hegstrand’s death as well as deaths of other wrestlers. This person noted that such drugs, as cocaine and Xanax had to be demonized for such cases. Laurinaitis confirmed that he desired to explain that steroids had not been linked with Hegstrand’s death.
Joe Laurinaitis noted that cocaine and Xanax had led to the death of this wrestler. He also announced that these drugs caused deaths of such celebritites, as Henning, Rick Rude and Davey Boy Smith. According to Laurinaitis, administration of cocaine frequently leads to usage of morphine. These drugs destruct health totally and lead to heart attacks.
Why must words of Laurinaitis be true? He was in Australia with Hegstrand. He knows about what he tells. Recently this wrestler joined to Andrew William Wright to talk about his experiences with “Hawk”.
