Cocaine and Xanax caused Hegstrand’s death

The Road Warriors, a professional wrestling tag team, were first who introduced bodybuilding-type muscularity in this sport. This tag team was composed of Hawk (Mike Hegstrand) and Animal (Joe Laurinaitis). Hegstrand died in 2003. The death of this person came suddenly because of a heart attack. This wrestler died at the age of 46. As it is known, popular media usually writes about deaths of professional wrestlers, linking the cases with administration of anabolic steroids. The death of Hegstrand was not an exception. After the death of this wrestler many articles appeared in newspapers which blamed anabolic steroids for this case.
Joe Laurinaitis admitted to usage of steroids by this wrestling team. But he claimed that these drugs hadn’t caused Hegstrand’s death. He added that other aspects were responsible for Hegstrand’s death as well as deaths of other wrestlers. This person pointed out that such drugs, as cocaine and Xanax had to be demonized for such cases. Joe Laurinaitis announced that he desired to explain that steroids had not been linked with Hegstrand’s death.
Joe Laurinaitis noted that cocaine and Xanax had contributed in the death of this professional wrestler. He also noted that these drugs led to deaths of such persons, as Henning, Rick Rude and Davey Boy Smith. According to Laurinaitis, usage of cocaine often leads to administration of morphine. These drugs destroy health totally and cause heart attacks.
Why must words of Laurinaitis be true? He was in Australia with Hegstrand. He knows about what he tells. Lately this person joined to Andrew William Wright to say about his experiences with “Hawk”.
