On August 8, 2008, wrestling journalist Georgiann Makropoulos reported that Walter "Killer" Kowalski had suffered a major heart attack and that
doctors did not expect him to make it through the night. On August 9, 2008, wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer reported that he had been taken off life
support and was unresponsive. Kowalski passed away earlier this evening.
--Latest update on Killer Kowalski as of Noon Eastern time is that his heart is beating on its own. He is by no means out of the water right now but
he is fighting.XHonusWagnerX - 8-10-2008 at 08:38 PM

Initial reports by Georgiann Makropolous were correct in that Walter did, in fact, have a heart attack late on Friday. At the time, he was revived,
placed on life-support and transferred from the nursing facility to an area hospital. Friday night and Saturday were critical for Walter. As of
Saturday evening, Walter was more responsive to those around him, including some visitors from the wrestling industry. He is still being assisted by
medical equipment but certain vital signs have improved slightly. The medical staff is hoping that he will continue to stabilize.
Walter is still in serious condition and we can all only hope for continued improvement. His wife believes that his slight improvement is due to the
thoughts and prayers that he has been receiving from around the world. She asks that everyone continue to pray for Walter.
As always, messages can be sent to Walter through his school: www.killerkowalskis.com or through the mailing address on the site.
Again, we ask that everyone think of Walter during this difficult time and resist the spread of inaccurate information and reports.

"Pro wrestling pioneer Walter "Killer" Kowalski died early Saturday from the effects of a massive heart attack. He was 81.
Kowalski died at Whidden Hospital in Everett, 12 days after his family decided to take him off life support. He had been in critical condition in the
hospital since his heart attack on Aug. 8, wife Theresa Kowalski said."
Sounds like they starved him to death really. That's such a shitty way to let someone die.
