Independent wrestler William Ogletree died on Tuesday after suffering a critical head injury at an unsanctioned wrestling event in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The 25-year-old wrestler suffered the injury on Sunday and was reported to have no brain activity on Tuesday, according to The Oklahoman.
His uncle Joseph Ogletree noted that Ogletree was injured after being hit with a spine buster and that his nephew only recently began competing in professional wrestling but had expressed interest in it for quite some time.
Oklahoma State Athletic Commission administrator Joe Miller stated that this event was not licensed by the commission despite the state’s requirement for all professional wrestling events to receive approval before they begin.
