Misawa Footage!!

----This is from Japanese TV, but they show Misawa in the ring and everyone trying to revive him. As was mentioned, Misawa died in the ring. Other reports say he died at the hospital, but by this video it really looks like he died in the ring. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter web site also reported the following...

--Despite media reports to the contrary, there will be no official cause death released for Misawa. In Japan, the family has a right to confidentiality if they choose and his family chose that.

----But..then the WON released the following...

Although Pro Wrestling NOAH and the family of Mitsuharu Misawa attempted to keep the cause of death quiet, it has been reported in Japan from police reports from talking with hospital workers that the death was caused by a spinal cord injury from the back suplex and not heart problems.
