Brian Keith Adams died at the age of only 43. He was trained in Japan by Antonio Inoki and wrestled in World Wrestling Federation (WWF) under the ring name Crush.
Brian Adams was found dead on August 13, 2007, by his wife at their Tampa, Florida home. The medical examiner described that the death was caused as a result of mixing painkiller buprenorphine with the muscle relaxant carisoprodol and the sedatives alprazolam and chlordiazepoxide.
The coroner determined the drugs in his system were individually at therapeutic levels, but the combination of all of them impeded the normal functioning of his respiratory system, leading to his death.
