During his career, Andrew "Test" Martin held the European, Intercontinental, and Tag Team championships. He might've climbed even further up the ladder if he hadn't suffered a neck injury in 2004. He was later released from the WWE after undergoing spinal fusion surgery. Test was aware of the short life span of professional wrestlers and was determined to escape the curse of drugs in particular. Alas, it didn't work out that way. In 2009, he was found in his Florida condo, dead at the age of 33 of an accidental overdose of painkillers.
Test's fate is particularly tragic because even if he'd managed to escape an overdose, his story was unlikely to end well. A doctor who examined his body found alarming signs of brain damage. In fact, his brain resembled that of an Alzheimer's patient twice his age.
