According to his official Twitter account, legendary wrestler Leon “Big Van Vader” White died on Mon., June 18. Posts from his son Jesse point to heart failure while recovering from pneumonia. Vader was 63. The WWE, WCW, All Japan and New Japan star had been documenting ongoing heart and other health issues via social media for years, including Nov. 2016 messages saying doctors told him he only had two years to live due to congestive heart failure. He walked back that prognosis after meeting with other medical professionals, but was undergoing surgeries and treatments while stating a desire to continue wrestling. R.I.P.
