The wrestling world is mourning the loss of Andy Williams, better known to fans as “The Butcher,” who has died at the age of 48.

Williams was competing at Enjoy Wrestling’s event on September 5 when he suffered a medical emergency during a tag team match. He received CPR at the venue before an ambulance arrived and transported him for further medical attention.

According to a report from TMZ, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office has confirmed that Williams has passed away. He was 48 years old.

Williams began his professional wrestling career roughly a decade ago and went on to gain widespread recognition during his time in All Elite Wrestling.
