Jerry the Wall Tiute dead at 36

Jerry Tiute, who performed as "The Wall" in World Championship Wrestling, and as "Malice" in NWA-TNA, passed away early Saturday morning from what is being described as an "Acute heart attack".
Tiute was found unconscious in his hotel room by Adolfo Tapia (La Parka) and Nosawa who had returned from a meal to say goodbye before heading to the airport to return to Mexico. Tiute was taken to a local hospital where attempts to revive him failed.
Tiute's final performance was on Friday December 5th at the All Japan PPV show in Tokyo at Budokan Hall, where he had teamed with former ECW/WWE star Bull Buchanan and former ECW/NWATNA star Justin Credible to defeat Nobutaka Araya, Tomoaki Honma and Kazushi Miyamoto.
Tiute performed in WCW as "The Wall" and Sgt. A-WOL, in XPW as Snuff, and in NWA-TNA as "Malice". He was on the first NWA-TNA show in the "Gauntlet for the Gold" match, where he and Ken Shamrock faced each other at the end for the title. Shamrock came out ahead, and feuded with Malice for a time. As Malice, Tiute worked for World Wrestling All-Stars on several European tours, and had been performing in Japan as Gigantes.
Tiute was 36 years old.
