Medical Examiner Rules AEW Wrestler Pac's Death Natural, Caused by Bronchial Asthma
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office determined that former AEW and WWE wrestler Pac died of bronchial asthma, classifying the death as natural.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office in Chicago announced Friday that the death of former AEW and WWE performer Pac, whose legal name was Benjamin Satterley, was caused by bronchial asthma and was ruled natural. Pac was discovered unconscious in a rental car at a Des Plaines, Illinois restaurant parking lot on Sept. 27 and was later pronounced dead. The examiner's findings were conveyed to Edward Lewis of the California Post by a spokesperson for the office. Pac had competed the previous night at AEW's All Out event at Now Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, where he faced Andrade El Idolo for the National Championship. The English-born wrestler had been with AEW since its launch in 2019, holding the All-Atlantic Championship once and the World Trios Championship twice, and previously performed in WWE under the names Neville and Adrian Neville from 2012 to 2018.
