Authorities say former Canadian professional wrestler Andrew Martin, who was known as Test and The Punisher to fans, has died at his Tampa, Fla., home. He was 33.
The former World Wrestling Entertainment champion, who was born in Whitby, Ont., was found dead at his apartment Friday night.
Police said a neighbour reported that she could see into his apartment window and that Martin appeared motionless for several hours.
Police said there was no indication of foul play. An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.
During his time with Stamford, Conn.-based World Wrestling Entertainment, Martin held the Intercontinental, European and Hardcore belts. He was also a tag-team champion.
Martin most recently worked for TNA Wrestling under the name The Punisher.
