Andres Palomeque, better known as Abismo Negro in AAA, was apparently found dead in a river in Mexico. He was 37.

We don't have other news other than a couple of wrestlers in the AAA promotion confirmed the story, but knew no details.

Palomeque was also known as Winners, a masked male dancer, who teamed with Super Calo during the early glory days of the AAA promotin. At the second year's first TripleMania show, Winners formed a trio with Rey Misterio and Rey Misterio Jr., and lost his mask in a feud with Calo in 1995.

He became Abismo Negro in 1997, and was on the 1997 Royal Rumble show in San Antonio that drew 60,000 fans to the Alamo Dome and wrestled on a few episodes of Raw that year.

He also worked as part of Team Mexico in the 2004 World X cup tournament for TNA.

Throughout his career he was plagued by drug problems, and had a reputation for no-showing events.

Good lord.

But yeah this does sound bad with the border wars going on.

Sounds more sleazy in translation. He was on a bus and complained of some variety of (possibly steroid related) panic/anxiety attack and asked to get off the bus. He was last seen in some variety of soggymarsh land and fell into the river because of it. Apparently he text his wife to tell her he was lost and that was the last people heard from him

Update from the Observer

--Regarding Abismo Negro's death yesterday (Andres Palomque), the story was that he suffered a nervous breakdown while riding a bus to a show, and forced the driver to pull over near a river. Nobody knows what happened from there. He sent a text message to his wife saying he was lost by the hills. The belief is he fell into the river and was trapped by the mud and unable to get out. His body was found floating down the river and identified. The cause of death was an anxiety attack which the coroner believed was caused by anabolic steroids.
Fucked up.

So, wait... steroids make Benoit murder his family and then himself... and they make this guy wander aimlessly into a river?
