Hayabusa, a Japanese wrestler, has died, according to reports on Friday. He was 47.
The wrestler, born Eiji Ezaki, was found dead due to a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain), reported WrestlingInc.com.
He wrestled in the U.S., with his most famous match taking place at ECW Heatwave 1998. He teamed up with Jinsei Shinzaki (Hakushi) to face Rob Van Dam and Sabu.
However, his career came to an end in 2001 after suffering a neck injury. Since then, he was confined to a wheelchair.
In 2014, he got out of his wheelchair and took steps. Later, he was able to walk with the aid of a cane.
