It was previously reported that former WWE Tag Team Champion "Grand Master Sexay" Brian Christopher Lawler (son of WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler) was on life support after an apparent suicide attempt.
According to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Lawler has passed away at the age of 46:
Just to confirm, Nikolai Volkoff, Brian Lawler and Brickhouse Brown have all passed away. Very sad day for pro wrestling.

Longtime wrestling fans may remember Lawler as one-third of the trio known as Too Cool along with "Scotty 2 Hotty" (Scott Garland) and WWE Hall of Famer Solofa Fatu, better known as "Rikishi Phatu". During their time together in WWE's Attitude Era, Grand Master Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty captured the WWE World Tag Team Championship in May of 2000, and Rikishi also held the Intercontinental Championship in June of 2000.
