According to WWE.com:
WWE.com has learned that former WWE Superstar Scott “Bam Bam” Bigelow has passed away in Florida.
Kevin Doll, the Public Information Director for the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Bigelow was found dead early this morning in his home in Hudson, Fla.
“We can confirm that Scott Bigelow was found in his home this morning. At this time the cause of death is unknown,” Doll told WWE.com.
Doll also confirmed that the Pasco-Pinellas Counties medical examiner has taken the body and an autopsy will be performed.
Bigelow, 45, worked for WWE, ECW and WCW extensively throughout his 20-year sports-entertainment career. A former ECW Champion, ECW Television Champion and WCW Tag Team Champion, he is perhaps best known for his rivalry with Lawrence Taylor that culminated in the main event of WrestleMania XI in 1995.
Sad to see one of New Jersey’s finest go. Bam Bam Bigelow was for me a reminder, just like many pro wrestlers, of my childhood days. I’ll remember him for the cartwheels in the ring and relatively high flying moves that were baffling for someone of his size. Sadly another pro wrestler is dead at way too young an age. Sad to see them all go.
