Larry Sweeney Found Dead In Home

[Ben]

I am very sorry to Alex Whybrow, professionally known as Larry Sweeney, was found dead this morning in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where he had been residing as well as training and http://www.pwinsider.com/article/56...kara-star-larry-sweeney-passes-away.html?p=1#independently in recent months. The news, which was a major topic of conversation among those in the independent wrestling community this morning, was broken by Chris Hero, who had been one of Sweeney's closest friends twitter writing:
"We lost a dedicated friend and an overwhelmingly talented performer this morning. Alex Whybrow aka "Sweet & Sour" Larry Sweeney has passed. We spent a few yrs together on the road & Alex was gifted beyond measure. He could enthrall you with colorful stories from his personal life or he could captivate thousands with his undeniable charisma. I loved him & my heart is with his family, friends & his countless fans. First he was my student & he transcended that almost immediately. I will forever cherish our in depth conversations & time spent together."
In speaking to a number of Sweeney's friends, I can confirm the cause of death was self-inflicted. Sweeney, who was only 29 years old, had very publicly and privately dealt with being bi-polar.

RIP

29 years old is to young to go, and it's sad to see that it was apparently a suicide.

This fucking SUCKS. Larry was awesome. He was a fucked up guy, but he was really awesome. The Sweeney/Cabana/Delirious triple-threat in honor of Chris Candido, as evidence:

Never really knew him as a wrestler. But loved him when he first debuted in ROH, and loved his chemistry with Chris Hero in SNS inc.

RIP

Don't know of him, but it is always sad when you see a guy like him not get help.

I remember hearing a report a year ago or something that he wasn't looking well and refusing treatment for a drug or health related issue. Sad thing to see that his death wasn't exactly sudden, but caused by an ongoing problem. RIP.
