of course there are plenty of 'roid related deaths in wrestling.. but what about anyone else having a freak-in-ring- accidental death? I heard something once about King Kong Bundy, squashing someone to death, but have never found any evidence of that... anyone know?

The Great Kahli, his name is Dalip Singh and he once killed a guy with a poerbomb,
On May 28, 2001, Brian Ong volunteered to receive a flapjack from Singh. Singh did this move with two others in the gym that night, including one of the trainers, so Ong could see how it was done. Ong botched receiving the move, as he grabbed Singh's shirt instead of pushing off his back as the coaches had instructed him. He landed wrong and incurred a severe injury. Ong had suffered a previous concussion, and this second concussion ultimately proved fatal for him. As Singh inadvertently caused his death, Ong's family brought a lawsuit against All Pro Wrestling and were awarded damages of over $1.5 million.

Iron" Mike DiBiase Ted DiBiase's father, was one of the few professional wrestlers to die during a match. On July 2, 1969 in Amarillo, Texas, “Iron" Mike suffered a fatal heart attack in the ring during a match with Man Mountain Mike. Harley Race, realizing that he was suffering a heart attack, attempted to perform CPR on DiBiase and then rode in the ambulance to the hospital with him. DiBiase was pronounced dead at the Hospital. His death, though the heart attack happened in the ring, was not related to professional wrestling or the match he was in but as a result of a high cholesterol level.
Close enough

A couple of Japanese wrestlers died in the ring. One was a female that broke her neck in a pile driver and another was a guy who died, but still won his match. The opponent just put the guy on top of hime for the three count. No joke, this really happened

The closest was Chris Candito, but they said it was not from the ring. Other than that Droz was paralized though.
