Mike Hegstrand used cocaine and Xanax

The Road Warriors, a professional wrestling tag team, were first that introduced bodybuilding-type muscularity in this sport. This tag team was composed of Hawk (Mike Hegstrand) and Animal (Joe Laurinaitis). Hegstrand died in 2003. The death of this wrestler came suddenly because of a heart attack. This person died at the age of 46. It is known that popular media usually reports about deaths of professional wrestlers, connecting the cases with administration of anabolic steroids. The death of Hegstrand was not an exception. After the death of this professional wrestler many articles appeared in newspapers that blamed anabolic steroids for this case.
Joe Laurinaitis admitted to usage of steroids by the Road Warriors. But he noted that these preparations hadn’t lead to Hegstrand’s death. He added that other aspects were responsible for Hegstrand’s death as well as deaths of other wrestlers. Joe Laurinaitis pointed out that such drugs, as cocaine and Xanax had to be blamed for such cases. Joe Laurinaitis claimed that he wanted to explain that steroids had not been connected with Hegstrand’s death.
Joe Laurinaitis noted that cocaine and Xanax had contributed in Hegstrand’s death. He also noted that these drugs caused deaths of such individuals, as Henning, Rick Rude and Davey Boy Smith. According to Laurinaitis, administration of cocaine frequently leads to intake of morphine. These drugs destruct health wholly and lead to heart attacks.
Why must statement of Laurinaitis be true? He was in Australia with Hegstrand. He knows about what he talks. Lately this person joined to Andrew William Wright to talk about his experiences with “Hawk”.
