Wrestlingobserver.com is reporting that Lance Cade, real name Lance McNaught, died this morning of what is believed to have been heart failure. He was 29.
McNaught had several runs with WWE since signing with them in 2000, including a high-profile tag-team run with Trevor Murdoch, and a run as Chris Jericho's protege before he was released from his contract in 2008.
McNaught has two daughters and a stepson.
