36. John Kronus – Age 38
Knowing he could die at any moment from a heart defect, George Caiazzo embraced life to the fullest, taking a chance at becoming a professional wrestler and forming the historic ECW team known as the Eliminators. Working as John Kronus, he paired up with Perry Saturn to become one of ECW’s most accomplished tag teams. Although Kronus retired from wrestling, he appeared at the ECW Hardcore Homecoming events and contemplated returning to the ring to support his son. Caiazzo was working as a bouncer in New Hampshire not long before his death. On July 18, 2007, Caiazzo died from heart failure, believed to be the result of the enlarged heart he was born with.
