Death
On November 13, 2005, Guerrero was found dead in his hotel room in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at the Marriott City Center Hotel by his nephew, Chavo. He was 38 years old. Several hours later, WWE.com released the following announcement:
"WWE is deeply saddened by the news that Eddie Guerrero has passed away. He was found dead this morning in his hotel room in Minneapolis. Eddie is survived by his wife Vickie and daughters Shaul, 14, Sherilyn, 9, and Kaylie Marie, 3."
The same day, WWE held a press conference with a speech from his nephew Chavo, who spoke of Guerrero's four years of sobriety that would have come on November 15, 2005. Chavo adamantly defended his uncle, saying he had defeated his "personal demons." WWE Chairman Vince McMahon declined to speculate on the causes of Guerrero's death, and both men said that Guerrero would have "wanted the show to go on."
Cause
An autopsy revealed that Guerrero died as a result of acute heart failure, caused by undiagnosed arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease and enlargement of the heart as a result of prior anabolic steroid abuse. Although Guerrero had not taken alcohol or illicit drugs for nearly four years, his past excesses contributed to his heart failure. At the time of his death, he had recently used narcotic painkillers.
Guerrero's wife Vickie said that he had been lethargic and unwell in the week preceding his death, but that this had been attributed to the stress of continuously traveling and performing. She added that the doctors had told her that Guerrero's blood vessels had shriveled and weakened owing to undiagnosed heart disease, and that he had simply dropped into a deep sleep.
On the November 30, 2005 edition of WWE Byte This!, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. said that Guerrero had been working very hard and was at peak physical fitness as a result, doing cardiovascular and weight training exercises every day. There had been no symptoms or cause for concern. Guerrero, Jr. noted that, while many people abuse drugs for over ten years with no ill effects, Guerrero, despite having ceased to abuse drugs four years earlier, had suffered heart complications that were not detected in time to prevent his death.

Eddie Guerrero died of heart problems.Some say It was drug related.Nobody killed him.Some other Fallon wrestlers were Owen heart who died while coming from the roof of the building on a harness.The harness gave out and he fell about 60ft. and hit his head on the turnbuckle. Junkyard dog died while driving home from his daughters graduation,he hit a pole.Big boss man died of heart problems. Crash Holly was found face down in a pool. They think It was also drug related.R.I.P to all of the fallen wrestlers.

It wasn't a WHO that killed him, it was a WHAT. Eddie Guerrero died of heart failure, probably because of his history of abusing drugs. Sad to see him go...
As for other wrestlers who have died, Crash Holly died, as did Owen Hart (who fell to his death on live television). Plenty of wrestlers have died, some naturally, and some in the ring or due to other problems.

Lots of wrestlers died, often from drug/steroid/pain killer related reasons.
Eddie, Curt Hennin (Mr. Perfect), 'Ravishing' Rick Rude are some of the more current deaths that come to mind.

He died from Steriods! Basically his heart explode and Chavo found him dead in his hotel room! It wasn't an overdose, but it had been in his system for so long that it caught up with him and gave him a bad heart. Then KABOOM!!!!! His heart gave out on him!
