You're right, it was absolutely shocking. I read that Candido had broken his leg in a match at Lockdown and it really saddened me, because he'd finally cleaned himself up and was really going somewhere.
A few days later, I read somewhere about an honourary to Chris. I thought this was a bit extreme, like "Jeez, he's only broken his leg, I'm sure he'll be fine". Turns out he'd died of a blood clot from surgery complications, most likely caused by flying out to Universal Studios to appear on Impact. In the end, it was his own dedication which killed him. It was very sad, and made me think about my life as well - he was only ten years older than I.
