Damn, I remember O'Haire. The Devil's Advocate. If it's true that really sucks. He's gotta be no older than 40-45, surely?
EDIT: He was 43.

Seems to be being reported everywhere now. Wonder what caused it, as 43 isn't exactly old. He had a cool character at one point, I can remember being disappointed at the time that nothing really came of it.
He was the character I used in a wrestling game for a while. I remember when wwe signed him and chuck palumbo back in the day, I thought they should've been pushed pretty hard because I liked them and thought they were cool.
Yeah his devil's advocate gimmick was cool as hell.
I always thought he could have done a lot better in his WWE stint but it wasn't to be. Dying at the age of 43 though, it had to be drug related surely. Eddie Guerrero was clean for years and the drug abuse still killed him. Could be something similar here.

I think the steroids finally got to him, from what I remember he was ridiculously muscled so he probably abused the steroids for a while. Your heart doesn't recover well from that sort of abuse, you can see what it's done to wrestlers over the years.
Not drug related. Suicide by hanging apparently.
Well that sucks.

Sucks. But another one bites the dust. We all are gonna wonder what drew him to suicide, but TMZ has a hold of it, so I guarantee they're gonna link it to head injuries or drugs. Shame.
Speaking of O'Haire... there is four gimmicks I wish I saw that never came into fruition or just never...well...got over.
1. Mordecai (obviously)
2. Muhammed Hassan (Middle Eastern Heel)
3. The preacher (Elijah Burke)
4. Devils advocate (O'haire)
Speaking of...
What was the reason O'Haires devil advocate character never went off? Was it pressure from the network? They didnt want to take the chance? Etc. Anybody help me out here on the reasoning.

They paired him up with Piper for some reason, then Piper left. They just lost faith with it I guess.
