In case you didn’t know….
Eric Denis was described to be an ’extremely talented wrestler’ and who had been involved in the fighting world for over twenty years. He was also a ‘super father’ of six children.
The event took place in the basement of the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer to raise funds for the ICW Crohn’s disease Foundation.
The heart of the matter
Eric Denis, a forty-year-old wrestler, collapsed in the ring following a heart attack, during an ICW wrestling event in Montreal to raise funds for the ICW Crohn’s disease Foundation. There were attempts by the locals to resuscitate him, but they proved unsuccessful, and the medics arrived to take him to the hospital. He was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital.
Danny Kidman, the coordinator of ICW Wrestling Organisation, said that they had nurses present, and as soon as Denis fell, they all came to the stage to attempt to save him. Kidman also said in his interview with TVA Nouvelles that despite the incident, the rest of the situation was dealt with professionally and people were escorted from the room.
Fellow wrestlers paid their respects to him on Twitter. ICW plan to hold a tribute in his honour on their next show on Saturday.
