Markus Crane died today at the age of 33.
It was Freelance Underground who break the news on the tragic passing of the wrestler, who was a Deathmatch specialist and one of the workers who helped Game Changer Wrestling transitioning from Jersey Championship Wrestling to the style adopted starting from 2015.
Crane had previously sustained a life-threatening injury in late 2019 which required surgery. He had returned to the ring in April winning a squash match, and was reportedly training for a full time return.
Mike Johnson reported that the wrestler died in his sleep according to several friends of his.
Below, you can see a statement released by GCW to mourn Crane.
Rest in Peace, Markus.
