In case you didn’t know…
Frank Andersson is better known for his time in WCW. He also has competed in 1984 Summer Olympics where he won a bronze medal for his country of Sweden in amateur wrestling. He was inducted in the AWH (Amateur Wrestling Hall of Fame) in the class of 2006.
In 1991, Andersson signed with NJPW where he wrestled a few matches before signing to then-biggest promotion in the world WCW. There he went on to work until retiring out in 1995.
The heart of the matter
Frank Andersson was admitted into a hospital this past month due to some heart problems. Just four days ago on 6 September, he had a heart surgery in which a cardiac pump was inserted into his heart.
But just a few hours ago he sadly passed away at the age of 62 due to some complications of his surgery. The same was confirmed by his good friend and manager Mattias Frisk. (credit to Sport Baldet for quotes)
