From a wrestling ng, here's the major gist of it:

"It looks as if Bobby Duncum Jr., 34, passed on late last night. As of now, the
cause of death looks to be a mixture of painkillers, and alcohol. As much as I
hate to sat it, the typical death, as it seems, for wrestling, as of late.

Tonight on Nitro, I expect Bobby's former employers to make a statement of some
sort regarding his death. As of now, his official site, BobbyDuncumJr.com, is
down, thus no statement."

Volfie -> I can't place him -- did he have a "name"?

Duncum wrestled under his own name. He had been in WCW for about 2 years.
Below is from 1wrestling.com:

"BOBBY DUNCUM JR DEAD
Bobby Duncum Jr passed away on Sunday of unknown causes.
According to KEYE-42 in Austin TX, Duncum was found dead this morning by his
roommate.

Duncum was a second generation wrestler who was perhaps best known for his
recent stint as a member of the West Texas Rednecks in WCW.

Duncum wrestled all over the world, having some of his greatest success in
Japan.

More details and a complete report will be posted later tonight or tomorrow
morning.

The entire staff of 1Wrestling.com mourns the passing of Bobby Duncum Jr, and
we send out sympathies to his family."

It looks like pro wrestlers are becoming the jazz musicians of the
'00s: It seems as if four or five of them drop dead every week.
