The tragic and unexpected death of Benjamin Slatterley, better known as PAC in All Elite Wrestling, has shocked the world of professional wrestling since the news broke just 24 hours ago. At that time, both the cause of death and the location where it occurred were unknown. Today, the The Daily Herald from Illinois has revealed more information about it.
According to the outlet, PAC was found dead in his rental car on Sunday, September 27 in the afternoon in Des Plaines, Illinois, in front of a restaurant. A passerby saw the wrestler in the car, leading to a 911 call. Slatterley's body was examined by the Cook County coroner, who told the newspaper that "there were no signs of foul play or trauma, and Slatterley's death did not appear suspicious".
PAC had competed just 24 hours before at AEW All Out, an event that took place in the city of Chicago, Illinois. The news of his death has impacted both fans and fellow professionals, who have not stopped paying their respects to one of the best talents of his generation and a kind and approachable person.
Currently, the exact cause of his death is still unknown, and it is unclear when the family will be able to have the body for the funeral. It is expected that All Elite Wrestling will pay tribute to Slatterley on AEW Dynamite in what will undoubtedly be one of the toughest episodes for the entire show's team.
