Benjamin Satterley, the professional wrestler known as Pac, died last month at age 40 of bronchial asthma, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office in Illinois, which confirmed the cause on Friday. The death was classified as natural. Deadline reports that the cause was first published by The New York Post and later confirmed by other outlets. The coverage describes him as a champion wrestler who had worked for several promotions, including AEW.
The reports agree on the cause, his age and the source of the finding, and they differ mainly in what each adds. Fox News notes that he died one day after competing for the AEW National Championship at All Out, and calls the death sudden. NBC News centers on the medical examiner's confirmation and his recognition among wrestling fans worldwide. Deadline stresses the natural classification and how the news first emerged. The excerpts mention no further investigation, official reactions or next steps, and the Deadline excerpt is cut off, so its fuller account of his career is unavailable.
