Former wrestling star Pac, whose real name was Benjamin Satterley, died of bronchial asthma late last month, the California Post said, citing the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Pac was 40 years old when All Elite Wrestling (AEW) announced his death.
"All Elite Wrestling is saddened to announce the passing of Benjamin Satterley, aka Pac," the company said. "A native of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, Satterley began his wrestling career in 2004 and went on to perform for wrestling organizations all over the world, captivating fans with innovative high-flying moves and incredible in-ring ability.
