Former WWE wrestler Andrew "Test" Martin was found dead in his home near Tampa, Fla. on Friday. The local TV station, WTSP.com, reports that he was found dead by Tampa Police around 8:00 p.m.

Police were called to his home for a welfare check after a neighbor said she could see into his apartment at Post Harbor Apartments and noticed that Test appeared motionless for several hours. Right now, Police say they don't think there was any foul play involved. An autopsy will be done to determine the cause of death.

    holy crap, so young. seems like this sort of thing has come to be expected once or twice a year :( something really has to be done to help these guys take better care of themselves. there was a list somewhere of all the deaths of pro wrestlers the past 10 years or so, its really unbelieveable.

    The hazards of the lifestyle is what made Bret Hart's autobiography a good read. Train Wreck seems a little weak for a title....Death March fits a little better.

    unfortunately vince mcmahon will never do anything to rid the wwe or wrestling of roids. wouldnt be to shocking to see basita die from roids or a few others in the coming years. mchmahon has shamed the sport and the legecy of past generationhs that built the sport. i havent watched wrestling in years and the way the sports gone i dont miss it one bit, i'll stick to MMA
