I'm guessing "old and fat" is the official cause of death. RIP, Cap'n.

This is a sad day for beards everywhere.

If Bobby Heenan isn't dead, I fully expect him to run wild without Capt. Lou to thwart him.

Hopefully Dr. Lou is the next to go...

Show more respect for a man who coached four Buckeye All Americans that played on a national championship team.

RIP Lou...definitely one of the people who made wrestling popular in the marvel comic era of the 80's.
