Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted May 18, 2002 In my Providence (Rhode Island) Journal, today 5/17.. "Erich Kulas, 22, of Harvard Street died Tuesday at home. Born in Cranston, Rhode Island, son of Stephen & Donna Kulas, both of Cranston, he was a lifelong resident of Cranston. Besides his parents, he leaves a brother, Justin Kulas, also of Cranston." Didn't mention anything about the New Jack incident or his wrestling career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Great Wesuke Report post Posted May 18, 2002 Well, as far as I can tell he wasn't much of a wrestler in the first place and the entire ECW incident was his biggest angle. I did a double take when I saw 22 years old, but yea... I went and checked and he was only 17 when it happened so it all checks out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheDames7 Report post Posted May 18, 2002 Maybe after he became a hermit (after the ECW incident), he read all of the disparaging remarks and lost his self-esteem to the point where he killed himself. Thats my take on it. I hope I wasn't too harsh last time we talked about him....I'd feel guilty if I killed him. Dames - Kulas Killer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Great Wesuke Report post Posted May 18, 2002 That was just a shade tastless Dames. I'm not going to sit here and praise someone just because they are dead (Hell, Hitler is dead... that doesn't make him a nice person) but I don't know this kid and all I can say is I'm sorry for his loved ones. That is all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheDames7 Report post Posted May 18, 2002 In all seriousness, I would feel bad though if he killed himself due to disparaging comments. From what I knew, he feel into a great depression afterwards.... Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Great Wesuke Report post Posted May 18, 2002 I have a feeling cause of death was probably natural, the kid weighed 400 pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheDames7 Report post Posted May 18, 2002 Even so....he was 22. Kids don't have heart attacks that young do they? Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 18, 2002 NO matter the reason it is sad to see one so young die at this age and no doubt he has left many people in mourning. May he rest in peace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sandman9000 Report post Posted May 18, 2002 I have a feeling that his heart was what killed him, either through his obesity, or possibly drug usage. It is just waiting for the autopsy to tell us if it is natural or unnatural causes that killed him. Correct me if I am wrong, but that press release didn't mention anything about suicide, did it?

Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted May 18, 2002 No, it was just a short obituary. The text after that just mentioned funeral arrangements. I'd suspect it was a heart attack, they ran a photo of him and he was very very overweight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Great Wesuke Report post Posted May 18, 2002 Even so....he was 22. Kids don't have heart attacks that young do they? Perfectly fit people have had heart attacks at a young age. Being overweight is NEVER a good thing for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
