Flair Family Comments on Reid's Autopsy


As you can imagine, the results of Reid Flair's autopsy being revealed has been major news in the Charlotte, NC area where Ric Flair and his family have lived for decades.

The Charlotte Observer featured a big story on the results, which you can read at http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/06/14/4106659/autopsy-reid-flair-died-from-toxic.html

Reid's mother Beth said that she had suspected a drug overdose and was not surprised by the results. "It (the report) makes it harder," she said. "I knew his fears and I knew how to help him. All he wanted to do was stay busy, train and keep his mind off the old triggers, then go back to Japan. He was doing really well there. He was happy."

Flair had been training and working for All Japan Pro Wrestling. He was only scheduled to be in the United States for a few weeks.

Ric Flair also spoke with the newspaper, commenting, "I loved him. He should have been on top of the world, but he was fighting a battle he couldn’t win. I hope people remember his laugh, his spirit and his love of life."
