In 2005, Halac opened up about his type 2 diabetes diagnosis – but continued to compete in the ring until 2019.
At the moment we can’t confirm if he died of diabetes.
Halac broke into the wrestling business in 1991 and joined the WWE three years later.

During his career, he shared the ring with a host of big names including the likes of Dave Taylor, Owen Hart, William Regal, Chris Benoit, and Finlay.
His final match came in April 2019 when he competed in a battle royal for Game Changer Wrestling.
Recently, Halec’s Mantaur character was portrayed in NBC’s Young Rock series – which details a look back at The Rock’s [Dwayne Johnson] career in wrestling.
