More Details On The Death Of Mitsuharu Misawa

Written by Richard Gray on Jun 13, 2009 - 10:24:17 PM

We now have more details regarding the death of Mitsuharu Misawa. Mike Aldren of the Wrestling Globe Newsletter is reporting Misawa took the suplex at around 8:45 PM JST. The referee asked him if he could move, he responded by saying no and lost consciousness a few seconds later. The match was stopped just after the twenty-seven minute mark and Pro Wrestling NOAH officials came into the ring.

A doctor was brought in from the crowd and he tried a heart massage on Misawa (something that was performed on Owen Hart after his tragic fall). According to Aldren, Misawa had stopped breathing by that point and the massage brought back his pulse. He was rushed to a hospital and officially pronounced dead at 10:10 PM JST.
