Shinya Hashimoto passed away at approximately 9:30 a.m. Monday
morning in Yokohama, Japan. His death is believed to have been due
to a brain aneurism. He collapsed suddenly and was rushed to the
hospital and is believed to have been dead on arrival.
No other details are available at this moment. He was 40.
Hashimoto, a many time IWGP champion and Hall of Famer, had, along
with Hulk Hogan, headlined more successful huge live pro wrestling
events than any wrestlers in the history of the business. He had been
out of action for several months due to a shoulder injury and the
collapse of the original Zero-One promotion. He was recovering from
surgery in December.

Sorry to hear that; that's a horrible thing to happen. :( R.I.P.
