As previously reported, AAA wrestler El Hijo del Perro Aguayo has passed away following an incident during a match with Rey Mysterio at a show in Tijuana, Mexico over the weekend.

According to MedioTiempo.com, the cause of death was a stroke due to cervical spinal damage. This may have occurred when Perro fell on the ropes for Mysterio’s 619 maneuver.

He was pronounced dead at 1 a.m. local time on March 21 after being rushed to the Del Prado hospital.

Mysterio has taken to social media to offer his condolences and thoughts of Perro:

Translation: “Just a friendship of brothers that formed began years ago and we should not question the ways of God. But on this occasion I wonder why and I do not understand. I miss you and I will take you with me the rest of my life. Rest in peace Hijo Del Perro.”

A new report from Yahoo Sports notes that Mysterio may be charged with manslaughter in the death of Perro if the case ever goes to court.
