The sheriff's office of Pasco, FL where Neidhart lived released a statement to TMZ Sports that no foul play was suspected.

"Preliminary information indicates that [Neidhart] fell at home, hit his head, and succumbed to his injury," the statement read.

According to the police report, they were called at 6:41 a.m. today and told that Neidhart fell, hit his head and was bleeding. His wife Ellie said that Jim was having difficulty sleeping, told her he was cold and wanted to adjust the thermostat. She got out of bed and he walked over to the thermostat, then fell toward the wall, evidently having a seizure, and hit the ground and she called 911, believing he had a seizure. She saw blood, saw him gargling and told the operator she thought he was dead. He takes medication for seizures and last had one on 12/21. He had a cut on his face from the fall of 2-4 inches in length.

More details on his cause of death.

When you're a jobber that's what you do.

I loved the Hart Foundation, but Neidhart on his own was a jobber.
