The son of legendary professional wrestler Kevin Nash has died at the age of 26.
Nash and his wife, Tamara, announced that their son, Tristen, had died in a statement released on Thursday. The statement on behalf of the Nash family was posted on Twitter by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com.
“On behalf of Kevin and Tamara Nash, I have to unfortunately report that their son Tristen Nash has tragically passed away at the age of 26,” he posted. “Tristen recently started working on Kevin’s new podcast and the two enjoyed their time together. The Nash family asks if you could please respect their privacy during this time.”
No cause of death or any other details were given in the statement.
Nash, 63, wrestled under the nickname Diesel in the 1990s and was the WWF champion from November 1994 until November 1995.
Tristen was reportedly Kevin and Tamara Nash’s only son. The death comes after Nash’s longtime friend and wrestling partner, Scott Hall, died in March. Hall had been on life support after a “series of heart attacks and developing a blood clot following a planned hip surgery,” per CBS Sports.
