The results are in:Vickie Guerrero speaks on Eddie's autopsy report
Nov. 15, 2005
After the untimely passing of Eddie Guerrero, WWE and the entire sports-entertainment community is still reeling from the devastating loss of a champion. The initial autopsy reports on Guerrero have come in. WWE.com spoke with Eddie’s widow, Vickie Guerrero, earlier today.
“It was heart failure. It was from his past – the drinking and the drug abuse. They found signs of heart disease. She (the examiner) said that the blood vessels were very worn and narrow, and that just showed all the abuse from the scheduling of work and his past. And Eddie just worked out like crazy all the time. It made his heart grow bigger and work harder and the vessels were getting smaller, and that’s what caused the heart failure. He went into a deep sleep.
As soon as they saw his heart, they saw the lining of his heart already had the heart disease. There was no trauma, and Eddie hadn’t hurt himself in any way. It answered a lot of questions. I knew Eddie wasn’t feeling very good for the last week. He was home and kept saying he wasn’t feeling good and we thought it was just “road tired.” So we thought he just had to rest. It answered a lot of my questions, too, because he was just so exhausted. She said it was normal because the heart was working so hard.
When he didn’t call me last night and the night before I knew it was for real, because he would call me every night. I miss his phone calls. I cried through the whole thing (last night).
I loved his laugh. His laugh was the best.
We just celebrated his four-year sobriety last Thursday. We just thought we had life by the handful. We thought we had it all figured out. He worked so hard to make a better life for us.
I’m just overwhelmed by how people are coming out. It’s touched my heart a lot.
Everybody was just in awe last night in how beautifully everything was put together.
All my life was wrestling. All he did was take care of them and live for that. And I don’t know what to do now.”

I'd thought that it may have been from the chair shot that Eddie had received from Mr. Ken Kennedy after the match. Eddie had done his typical routine:
Introduced the steel chair, when the ref started to "come around". Eddie'd whacked it on the ring mat and then tossed it at Kennedy, falling over as if he'd been hit. Kennedy was disqualified and then turned around and blasted Eddie in the head. The assault was quick and violent and I was wondering if perhaps that blow had caused some serious after effects.
There are those of you out there who say wrestling's fake. Some of it is, yes. Including a lot of the chair shots, but I was wondering if Eddie had managed to not get his hand / forearm up between his head and the chair before impact. It was that fast. Fortunately, that was not the case. Unfortunately, it was Eddie's heart that gave out. I had taped Monday Night RAW and watched a touching tribute from men such as Vince MacMahon, Chris Beniot, Triple H, Chavo Guerrero, Dave Batista, et al.
I'd watched grown men cry at the tribute to one of their own and I was touched.
To the Guerrero / WWE Families: My deepest condolences on the loss of Eddie. He Lied / Cheated / Stole his way into my heart.
Viva La Raza! Eddie Guerrero. I will miss Latino Heat on Friday Night Smackdown!
