The Associated Press had the following from Chris and WWE regarding Mike Bell's death:
"He was always wrestling, he was a personal trainer, he was always pushing his body to the max," Chris Bell told the Orange County Register.
"You can't really blame wrestling, but it's kind of the lifestyle," he said. "You have a couple of painkillers to get to the next match, have a couple drinks night to night and it gets out of hand."
Bell wrestled on World Wrestling Entertainment's "Monday Night Raw" as a "jobber," a fighter who takes falls to promote others.
"Although Mr. Bell was never under a WWE contract, WWE extends its deepest condolences to the Bell family," the organization said.
