Brian Christopher, Former WWE Superstar, Dead of Suicide

Brian Christopher Lawler, the son of WWE legend Jerry Lawler and a former WWE Superstar himself, passed away on Sunday, hours after being placed on life support.


He was 46 years old.



According to TMZ and other outlets, Christopher was surrounded by friends, family members and loved ones at the time of his death, which took place after he tried to kill himself on Saturday night.


He did so via an attempted hanging in jail.


Prison guards discovered Lawler in his cell outside Memphis.


He was taken to a hospital shortly afterward, where he remained in critical condition until late Sunday morning.


Lawler, who wrestled in the WWE under the name Grandmaster Sexay, was arrested earlier this month for DUI after leading cops on a wild and dangerous chase.


Police reported that Brian smelled of alcohol and had an open 12-ounce can of beer in his center console; they arrested him on the spot.


Bail had been set at $ 40,000.

As Grandmaster Sexay, Christopher teamed with Scotty 2 Hotty to form the tag team Too Cool and even won the tag team title at one point in his career.


Brian’s father, Jerry Lawler, is one of the most well-known wrestling personalities on the planet.


He is a WWE Hall of Famer and works for the company as an announcer.


Said the company in an announcement shortly after Brian died:


WWE is saddened to learn that Brian Christopher Lawler, who is best known in WWE as Too Cool’s Grandmaster Sexay, has passed away.


Lawler, who is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler, competed during the height of the Attitude Era.


WWE extends its condolences to Lawler’s family, friends and fans.


Brian also wrestled for a number of different independent promotions, most notably the United States Wrestling Association in Memphis, Tennessee.


His father and his family are legends in that city.


The WWE released Lawler in 2001.

However, he made occasional appearances on WWE television in subsequent years.


In the buildup to Jerry Lawler’s match against Michael Cole at WrestleMania XXVII in 2011, Bruan returned to confront his father at the announcers’ table.


Brian also reunited with Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty for an old-school edition of Raw on Januart 6, 2014 and defeated 3MB. The photo above was taken after this match.


He then tagged with Scotty 2 Hotty in a losing effort against The Ascension at NXT Arrival on February 27, 2014.


Earlier on Sunday, WWE also confirmed that former star Nikolai Volkoff had also passed away. He was 70 years old.




bc tributes


Said former WWE announcer and legenary personality Jim Ross this evening:


“So saddened today re: the deaths of @WWE HOFER Nikolai Volkoff, #BrickhouseBrown, once targeted to replace #JYD, and #BrianChristopher, the talented son of the great, @JerryLawler#RIPGentlemen #CondolencesToAll.”


Added ex-wrestler Taz:


“Two men from different generations of wrestling industry both extremely successful careers have left us unfortunately.


“I knew Brian during my WWE years & shared lots of laughs with him. My deepest sympathies to the families & friends of #BrianChristopher & #NikolaiVolkoff – RIP.”


May they both rest in peace.

Kim Cattrall: Brother Christopher Cattrall Dead at 55

Even though Kim Cattrall is done with Sex and the City, her role as the infamous Samantha won her countless fans all over the world.


It was to those same fans that Kim turned for help over the weekend, when her brother, Chris Cattrall, went missing.


Sadly, Kim Cattrall has now had the grim task of sharing that her brother has passed away at 55.



Over the weekend, beloved Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall shared this heartfelt plea:


“MISSING! This is my brother Christopher Cattrall or Chris as we call him. He has been missing since Tuesday, January the 30th from his home in Lacombe, Alberta Canada.”


It sounds like she and her family had hoped that police in Alberta could find her brother quietly without her having to embarrass him publicly. But she had reason to be worried.


“His keys, cell phone,& wallet left on the table and his front door unlocked. This is not like Chris. He he would never leave his unlocked home without those items nor his 7 beloved dogs.”



After that alarming description, Kim provides a physical description to match the photo.


“Chris is 55 years old, 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, blue eyes, short brown hair, goatee, average build & usually wearing a waist length hooded winter coat with black gloves, blue jeans and calf high black winter boots.”


Of course, if he didn’t have his wallet, phone, or keys with him, it’s hard to tell what he might be wearing or not wearing.


“If you’ve seen Chris contact Blackfalds RCMP at 403 885 3300 He’s a one of a kind brother. Help us bring him home safe. Please spread the world. Many thanks for reading this. Kim.”


Fans rushed to spread the news.



Unfortunately, desperate searches for loved ones often end in tragedy.


On Sunday night, Kim posted this grim update:


“It is with great sadness that myself and my family announce the unexpected passing of our son and brother, Chris Cattrall.”


Oh, that is several kinds of heartbreaking.


If you’ve ever lost a sibling, you know how devastating that can be. Quite frankly, even if you haven’t, you can probably imagine what she must be going through.


What her entire family must be going through.



Kim Cattrall’s difficult message continues:


“At this time we ask for privacy.”


Of course. Naturally, everyone has questions … but she and her family will share what they know when they can. In the mean time, nobody needs to be photographed crying in their living room.


She also thanks fans.


“We want to thank you all on social media for your outpouring of love and support in this trying time.”



Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokesperson Corporal Chris Warren did confim that Chris Cattrall was found, deceased, on his property on Sunday.


Naturally, they’re still investigating, but it doesn’t sound like they suspect foul play.


The truth may be mundane or embarrassing, but no matter what the police find to be the cause of death, this is a tragic story.


Our hearts go out to Kim Cattall and her family in this trying time.

Christopher Dionne, Former HGTV Star, Arrested for Child Molestation

Christopher Dionne, the former star of a pilot that once aired on HGTV, was arrested on Monday in Connecticut and charged with the sexual assault of a 10-year old.


According to various outlets, the 36-year old turned himself into authorities after an active arrest warrant had been issued in his name.



Dionne was charged with fourth-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a child; he was then released on $ 100,000 bond.


The ex-reality star was once at the center of HGTV’s Family Flip and is due back in court on February 14.


This is what we know at the moment, based on an arrest warrant application obtained and made public by People Magazine:


The alleged young victim told a social worker that Dionne touched her inappropriately while she was at a birthday party/sleepover hosted at Dionne’s residence in November.


This unnamed individual alleges Dionne woke her up around 1:30 a.m. and put his hand against her rear end, hiking up her pajamas to do so, as she lay on her stomach.


She claimed he proceeded to reach his hand under her bra and felt up her chest, even snapping a picture of her on his phone as she held her shirt up.



The accuser is a close friend of Dionne’s 10-year old daughter and says there were two incidents of this nature, several hours apart.


The aforementioned daughter and Dionne’s 14-year old son were allegedly in the room when this happened.


People goes on to write that Dionne reportedly asked if the 10-year-old wanted to see his penis, asking her:


“Are you a big girl or a little girl?” and telling her: “If you tell your mom, I’ll go to jail and (my daughter) won’t have a daddy.”


She claimed she refused his advances and he eventually went back to his bedroom.


This same girl says Dionne asked her weeks earlier if she wanted to kiss his genitals.



On November 27, after the second encounter allegedly took place, the girl’s mother contacted local police.


Three days later, cops visited Dionne’s home while he was off in California, filming a home remodeling series for A&E titled House Rescue.


Regarding the evening of the alleged molestation (November 25), Dionne’s wife told police that her husband had gone out with friends and was back in their bed by the time she woke up, around 5 or 6 a.m.


In Dionne’s initial statement to police, Dionne confessed to having an interaction with the girl during the sleepover.


He claims she placed her arm around his waist and rubbed his stomach; in turn, he told her this was “inappropriate” and only “big girl stuff.”


She then turned over and began to cry, Dionne alleges.


He says he rubbed her back and told her to go back to sleep before returning to his bedroom.


Dionne’s HGTV show, Family Flip, ran for just one episode back in 2015.



Said HGTV in a statement to People:


“The person you reference in your inquiry appeared in a pilot that premiered on our network more than 2-1/2 years ago.


“The pilot was not picked up for series and is no longer on our air.”


A&E, meanwhile, said in a statement of its own that they’ve suspended production on House Rescue in light of these allegations
