Former WWE tag team champion Lance Cade dies
Former WWE tag team champion Lance Cade has died, reports PWInsider.com. Cade, real name Lance McNaught, was best known in professional wrestling for his tag team with Trevor Murdoch and his subsequent stint aligned with Chris Jericho.
Cade was widely believed in pro wrestling circles to be a star in the making, having trained in the initial class of Shawn Michaels’ academy. An incident with painkillers doomed his most notable WWE tenure after an overdose in 2008 triggered a seizure while traveling on an airline flight. WWE released Cade thereafter. Cade returned under contract to WWE a year later but wasn’t booked beyond the FCW developmental level before being released again.
It isn’t clear if drug issues played a role in Cade’s death though the suspicions are sure to be raised, especially in the current politically charged atmosphere. Cade was survived by two daughters. He was 29, again another pro wrestling death come far too soon.
