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 travelling 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.

He died of heart failure...It was widely known that Eddie had used steroids in the past, and also other drugs, even though he had been clean for years...This unfortunately was most likely what took a fatal toll on him...

Guerrero, for the first half of his career, had a serious problem with drugs and alcohol. That abuse did irreparable damage to his body, particually his heart. Gerrero died of either a heart attack or heart failure because of that abuse.

[edit] Death
On November 13, 2005, Guerrero was found dead by his nephew Chavo, in his hotel room in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at the Marriott City Center Hotel. Eddie 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."

[edit] Events following Guerrero's death
An emotional Chavo Guerrero performs at the SmackDown! tribute show to his late uncle.Guerrero was set to face Batista and Randy Orton in a triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship on the November 15, 2005 taping of Friday Night SmackDown! (which would have aired on November 18, 2005). Stephanie McMahon hinted that Eddie Guerrero had been scheduled to defeat Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship, which would have begun Guerrero's first reign as World Heavyweight Champion and his second world championship reign overall.
The episodes of RAW on November 14, and Friday Night SmackDown! on November 18, each aired as tributes to Eddie Guerrero. No WWE employees were compelled to perform, although several matches took place, including one featuring Chavo. RAW started off with all the superstars and several personnel on stage, as Vince McMahon addressed the live crowd. A video was then shown featuring many clips of Guerrero in and out of the ring to "Hurt" as performed by Johnny Cash. A similar video was shown on Friday Night SmackDown to an acoustic version of "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down.
In addition to the RAW and SmackDown! tribute shows, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling dedicated the pay-per-view TNA Genesis (which aired the evening of his death) to Guerrero, while Ring of Honor named their next show "Night of Tribute".
As a direct response to Guerrero's death, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon announced the implementation of drug testing for WWE wrestlers, which began in March 2006. Guerrero was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on April 1, 2006 by Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio, and his nephew Chavo Guerrero in Chicago, Illinois on the night before WrestleMania 22. His widow, Vickie, accepted the honor. Guerrero also appears in the video game, WWE Smackdown! vs. RAW 2007 as a legend.
Randy Orton took Eddie Guerrero's place on Team SmackDown! at the 2005 Survivor Series, and would go on to win the match as its sole survivor.
On every house show on the European tour which would led him to Germany (Leipzig, Berlin, Nuremberg), a ten-bell salute occurred and fans stood up in silence to honor Guerrero who died several days before the event. The local newspaper of Leipzig, the "Volkszeitung", also noticed the death of Guerrero.
Currently, some of Eddie's closest wrestling friends such as Rey Mysterio Jr., Chavo Guerrero, Jr. and Christian pay tribute to him in their matches in much the same way as Eddie paid tribute to Barr by using the frog splash as a finishing move.
