Watching pro wrestling turned deadly of a 24-year-old Louisiana man, according to FoxSports.com
According to the report, Stephen A. Arceneaux III was hosting his own "Wrestlemania 28" party when he and a 14-year-old cousin acted out a wrestling hold. Arceneau died after he refused to "tap out" of his younger cousin's "rear naked choke hold" and caused him to stop breathing, police said.
The story goes on:
Arceneaux and his cousin began wrestling on an inflated mattress
at the party and the teenager, who weighed just 110 pounds, placed his
arm around the 220-pound Arceneaux's neck.
Witnesses said Arcenaux was in the hold for 30 to 40 seconds, but refused to give up or "tap out."
When one of the witnesses saw Arceneaux turning blue, they told the
youngster to let go, but by that stage Arceneaux had already stopped breathing,
the report said.
Arceneaux's girlfriend tried unsuccessfully to revive him before he was
transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
No arrests have been made and the investigation is continuing.
"It's bizarre," said Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. Pat Yoes. "We're
still investigating it. But when you have violent horseplay like that,
it just goes to show you that anything can happen."
