WWE Being Sued By Family Of Original Doink The Clown

The family of the late Matt Osbourne, better know as the original “Doink The Clown” in 1990s have filed a lawsuit against WWE in Dallas, Texas on Friday.The suit alleges brain injuries and other issues suffered while working for WWE lead to his death in June of 2013 according to The Dallas Morning News.

The lawsuit is reportedly very similar to others filed of the same nature by the families of Billy Jack Haynes and Cassandra Frazier, the widow of the late Nelson Frazier Jr. (Big Daddy V).

Osborne died two years ago of a toxic overdose of morphine and hydrocodone. The lawsuit argues that the long term effects of brain trauma suffered during his 25 year wrestling career directly led to his premature death at age 55.
