Overview
- Williams collapsed near the end of a tag-team match at Enjoy Wrestling’s Five Years show at Mr. Smalls Theatre and on-site doctors began CPR before paramedics arrived and used an AED.
- The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed his death to media after the Sept. 5 medical emergency.
- Audio from 911 dispatches released to outlets reported that a wrestler hit his head on a ring post during the incident, though investigators have not said whether that caused his death.
- Enjoy Wrestling canceled the remainder of the show, sent attendees home, and staff and fans at the scene assisted emergency responders as Williams was taken by ambulance.
- Williams built parallel careers as the founding guitarist of Every Time I Die and as a professional wrestler known as The Butcher, and his passing has prompted widespread tributes while the medical examiner continues its review.
