A fan had a pic with him this morning at the airport in New Orleans as he was flying back to his home state of Arizona.

TMZ said he collapsed walking to his car from a hotel in AZ with his wife. Was pronounced dead at the hospital.

My uneducated guess is: Heart attack.

He really, really abused steroids in the 1980's and 1990's. Doing mega amounts to keep his body that jacked all those years. And when you do that much...it leads to an enlarged heart.

At least the guy got a chance to make peace with the business, get into the Hall Of Fame, and see the fans one more time.

At the Hall Of Fame ceremony they have all the inductees escorted to the podium by WWE "Divas".
Ultimate Warrior did not do that. He had his 2 little girls walk him out to the podium.

Just goes to show...you never know when your time is up. One minute you are here, the next...just gone.
I think he was far too young to just drop like that for sure, but that's a pretty cool thing to happen just before though. Would have been far worse if it happened before all that I'd say. He had a very negative standing with wrestlers and management for years before that.
