Meltzer has posted the following here:
Eddy Guerrero was found dead in his hotel room in Minneapolis this morning at the age of 38.
The only details available is that Guerrero came in yesterday for tonight’s scheduled television tapings at the Target Center where he was scheduled in the main event. He was staying at the Marriott City Center hotel in downtown Minneapolis.
He had an early wake-up call shortly after 7 a.m. that he didn’t answer. Chavo Guerrero, who he was traveling with, called the room and again got no answer. When knocks on his hotel room door went unanswered, security got the door open and Eddie was found dead in the bathroom. The belief at this time is he suffered a heart attack while brushing his teeth.
Many have noted the coincidence both of Guerrero passing away in a hotel room, similar to Brian Pillman, in 1997, in nearby Bloomington.
Guerrero was one of the best wrestlers of this generation and immensely popular within the industry.
