This comes from 1wrestling.com's Bob Ryder, I always though Candido was under appreciated. This just breaks my heart ...
Chris Candido passed away Thursday night after collapsing earlier in the evening and being rushed to a hospital by ambulance. The cause of death is unknown at this time.
Candido had suffered a serious ankle injury at the Lockdown pay-per-view on Sunday and had surgery to repair the injury on Monday evening. Candido appeared at TNA's iMPACT taping on Tuesday night in Orlando just hours after being released from the hospital.
The news comes as an absolute shock to all of us who have worked with Chris in recent months. On behalf of everyone at 1wrestling.com, our thoughts and prayers are with Tammy and his family and friends.

I'm stunned by this. It's sad that he finally had turned a corner in his life and cleaned up.

From Candido's brother...
I find it only fitting you hear the truth from me about the death of my bestfriend, brother, and soulmate. Chris died tonight due to a blood clot brought on by complications with his surgery. I just want to tell everyone that in their sorrow, find a way to be happy that he went out the way he wanted to...on top of the world, blonde, tan, and loving life up until the last minute. Every ounce of my brother loved this sport, and for him to go out 2 or 3 years ago wouldn't have been a fitting end to the life of such a determined, passionate, and benevolent human being. I truly view my brother as an angel as will all who knew him. Thanks to everyone for all your positive press, Chris went out a happy man and will forever live on as the(one of) greatest of all time. He would have had it no other way.
Johnny Candido

The passing of Chris Candido just goes to show how quickly your life can be taken from you... I along with my girlfriend went to the TNA tapings here at Universal Studios a couple weeks prior to Lockdown, and Chris did the wheelchair angle which to me stole the show... Appreciate everyday, and everyone you hold dear because you never know when your time will come... My condolences go out to his family and friends... RIP

I am shocked at his passing
I always enjoyed watching him wrestle especially in ECW where he had a great run as one third of the triple threat. He was wasted in WCW+WWF
I hope the WWE mentions his passing on Raw next week
He will be missed

I doubt they will. They didn't even mention Crash Holly's passing and he had worked with them much more recently.

When did he work for WCW? I remember his work as one of the Bodydonnas, but I don't remember him being in WCW. This is all so very sad.

He worked in WCW for about 2 months in 2000. He had a run as the Cruiserweight Champion. He got fired when Tammy got caught with drugs.
