Another former professional wrestler Mike Bell (pictured far left), who went by the name Mad Dog, was found dead Sunday at a Costa Mesa live-in rehabilitation facility. Bell was only 37 years-old, appeared in the documentary Bigger, Stronger, Faster. Although Bell was being treated for substance abuse, an autopsy was done, but Dan Akin, a supervising deputy at the Orange County coroner, said an immediate cause of death could not be determined, so they are awaiting toxicology test results.

Chris Bell, whose 2008 documentary examines the steroid use of his two brothers, said Mike Bell had long battled with his addictions to prescription painkillers and alcohol. Chris Bell told the Orange County Register:

"He was always wrestling, he was a personal trainer, he was always pushing his body to the max."

"You can’t really blame wrestling, but it’s kind of the lifestyle. You have a couple of painkillers to get to the next match, have a couple drinks night to night and it gets out of hand."

Bell wrestled on World Wrestling Entertainment’s Monday Night Raw as a "jobber," a fighter who takes falls to promote others.

A spokesman for the WWE said:

"Although Mr. Bell was never under a WWE contract, WWE extends its deepest condolences to the Bell family."

Does the WWE hire non-contract wrestlers to get around steroid rules?
