Former second generation professional wrestler Luna Vachon was found dead in her home this past Friday (August 27, 2010). The cause of death won’t be certain until after the toxicology results are known, but there is a good chance it is another drug related death.
There was a box of Oxycodone found in her kitchen. There was a blue powder substance and a straw found in one part of the house, as well as loose pills and more ground up medication with a straw found in her bedroom.
It is a shame to loose more and more wrestlers to all sorts of cause, but especially to drug related ones.
Her mother said she often seemed medicated due to past wrestling injuries.
Luna wrestled alongside some of the greatest in the business, including; Kevin Sullivan, Shawn Michaels, Bam Bam Bigelow, The Fabulous Moolah, Sherri Martel, and many more.
