Reid Flair found dead

Reid Flair, the 24 year old son of wrestling legend and former world champion Ric Flair has been found dead today.

No official cause of death has been reported but Flair has a history of drug use including being arrested multiple times including one arrest that found him in possession of black tar heroin.

Flair  had been working in All Japan Pro Wrestling including a match that involved his father but Ric was unable to contribute in the ring due to a blood clot issue in his leg. There has been interest in Flair by the WWE and the company was considering assigning him to developmental along with sister Ashley.

At one time Reid Flair was a hot commodity in wrestling mainly due to his heritage but his problems with drugs and not being able to live up to his famous fathers image ended a number of chances with the major promotions including ROH.

shocking. only a few years older than me

24's no age to die. It's a bloody shame, he was a very talented chap.

RIP

If it was down to drugs then I have no sympathy with the lad he new what he was doing and what the dangers where so no am not sorry about his death but I am sorry for Rick Flair no one wants to grow older then there son or daughter so my sympathy's do go out to him for that.

Far too young. Drugs are a sad problem that grip people, still sad for me, RIP

If it was down to drugs then I have no sympathy with the lad

That's not fair to Flair

Jeez, we all know Rics past issues. Hopefully this doesnt send him back that way.

If he was arrested multiple times on drugs charges, that sounds to me like he had a self-destructive personality, in which case there was no helping him, short of locking him in a cell for the rest of his life.

I'm guessing his dad did what he could to help...but some people just don't want to be helped.

Think I feel more sorry for Ric than Reid.
