Eddie had a lot of drug and alcohol problems in his career in 2000 up until 2002.\nHe had just celebrated 4 years of being clean.\nHe died of a massive heart failure on November 13th 2005, caused by his veins, arteries and blood vessels not being able to take the pressure from his enlarged heart (as a result of previous steroid abuse).\nHe did NOT have it coming to him, as one answerer wrote. Eddie worked hard to get himself clean, and was a loving father and husband. HE CERTAINLY DID NOT DESERVE IT.

No, it's not an *angle*-- Eddie Guerrero is honestly and really dead. He died of heart disease at the age of 38. The WWE may be confusing the issue, though, by continuing to mention him in its storylines on Smackdown. But no, sorry to say, he is really dead.

He could not live down the Milli Vinilli scandal (lip syncing, stripped of groups Grammy Award and failed attempts to revive his career).  He was said to be depressed and abused drugs,thus killing himself.

I saw a comedian one time who commented on the fact that he had recently seen (this was YEARS ago) Keith doing a Rock Against Drugs commercial... imagine seeing Keith saying "don't do drugs" Yeah well we can't do drugs anymore Mr. Richards, because YOU already F***ing did Them ALL. I laughed...He does look pretty rough these days, I can't believe he can still perform. I had this funny thought when I was watching them at the Superbowl... wouldn't it be ironic if Mick had a big ol' heart attack right in the middle of the song "Start Me Up" and they had to hit him with the defibrillator? That would be priceless!!

Eddie Guerrero did not die of an overdose. He died because he had heart failure. He over worked himself constantly and his heart had to grow larger to accomodate the amount of work he was doing and that Saturday night, his heart just gave up, it also turned out that he had a lining of cancer around his heart that no one knew about.\n\nR.I.P Eddie, you will be missed!!!!

No.  He is not dead.  He music was dead when it was alive.  He should try acting or modeling only and leave singing alone.

He was accidentally killed. He took a tablet for a headache and had a reaction known as cerebral edema.  It was not a drug overdose or murder, but the idea of all these conspiracy theories is what fuels his legend.\n\nCerebral edema is swelling of the brain which can occur as the result of many things, including head injury, allergic reaction, stroke, drug overdose, acute liver disease, cardiac arrest or from the lack of proper altitude acclimatization.\n\n"Symptoms of cerebral edema include headaches, decreased level of consciousness,loss of eyesight, hallucinations, psychotic behavior, memory loss and coma. If left untreated, it can lead to death (r. Bruce Lee)."\n\n"On July 20th 1973, Bruce had arranged to meet Raymond Chow along with actress Betty Ting Pei who would star in "Game of Death". He stopped off at Betty`s house and told her that he had a headache. She gave him an Aquagesic (a painkiller that she regularly used ). Bruce laid down in her bed and went to sleep. During his sleep, the brain swelling returned and triggered an allergy to the painkiller called a cerebral edema."\n\nHis son Brandon Lee died from accidental shooting on the movie set.

It's sad.  I didn't even know that he died.  This is a man that has been an active force in the entertainment industry for decades.  He has left a legacy of great television programing that will live on for even more decades and there was virtually no press about his death.  But, every time I turn on my TV there's Britney Spears and that leech she married scuzzing up my day.
