Also, click here (http://www.eastbayexpress.com/issues/2004-01-14/news/feature_4.html) for an old article that talks about Singh practicing a spinebuster on an inexperienced wrestler by the name of Brian Ong back in 2001. Singh botched the manuever when he slammed Ong into the mat, head-first. Ong had been suffering from an untreated concussion at the time, and this second blow to the head proved to be fatal.

Don't even need to see the clip to know it's bullshit. It wasn't Dalip Singh's fauly. Ong has taken a bump previously and landed bad and wanted to do the spot with Singh knowing both had never done it before. The trainers should know better.

Okay, please don't be retarded.

1. This has been news here like 3 times.

2. Unlike this account, the real account gives no liability to Singh.

3. Lords is bullshit.

4. Rob knows his shit, and the company was sued because THEY were responsible.

While training at the All Pro Wrestling school in May 2001, Singh was linked to the death of 24 year-old wrestling student Brian Ong. According to a January 2004 East Bay Express article, Ong (who had previously suffered a concussion but yet continued training) was powerbombed by Singh. Ong took the bump wrong, landing on his tailbone with his head hitting the mat backwards due to the whiplash effect of the bump. The trainers didn't realize how badly Ong, who told them he was dizzy, was hurt until he got on all fours, vomited, and collapsed. They called 911. Ong passed away while being transported to the hospital via ambulance. The official cause of death was acute and subdural hemorrhage due to head trauma. Ong's family sued APW for his death, receiving a $1.34 million ruling against the school and its owner, Roland Alexander. Singh did not testify during the trial and was not implicated legally in Ong's passing.
