Some sad news to pass on. The Brother of the late Chris Candito originally reported that ECW star Balls Mahoney passed away. Balls Mahoney is probably best known for his time in ECW and his short time with the WWE. We don’t have many details to report other than the initial tweets.
Here were the original tweets:
