(Image via WWE) Andre the Giant is a larger-than-life individual and one of the most recognizable professional wrestlers in the sports entertainment industry. He is a well-known figure with an overwhelmingly successful career, even if it was cut short. Andre the Giant is best known for his tenure during the Rock n Wrestling Era of WWE during the 1980s, with being a massive attraction for the company. He played a huge role in some of the most unforgettable moments in professional wrestling, and his passing in 1993 truly rocked the wrestling community, especially considering how much he was adored by fans everywhere. The massive size of Andre the Giant was always part of the appeal of his character, as it helped him stand out as an attraction since starting his wrestling career in the 1960s. However, his reign in the wrestling industry was cut short after his shocking demise at the age of 46. Let's take a look at the WWE icon's shocking demise. How did the popular WWE legend Andre the Giant die? After reigning in the wrestling industry for almost three decades, WWE legend Andre the Giant passed away on January 28, 1993, of an apparent heart attack in his sleep in Paris at a hotel named Hotel De La Tremoille. His sudden demise was likely associated with his untreated acromegaly, at a Paris hotel, at the age of 46. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo Andre the Giant's greatest moments: WWE Playlist According to The Sportster , his passing was not too long after he wrestled his last match at AJPW in December 1992, where he teamed with Rusher Kimura and Giant Baba against Masanobu Fuchi, Haruka Eigen, and Motoshi Okuma. Earlier reports suggest that the wrestling legend was visiting Paris at that time for his father's funeral. He was actually found dead in his room by the hotel management and his chauffeur. Following his death in Paris, his family in France held a funeral for him, intending to bury him near his father, who passed away a few days back. When they learned of his wish to be cremated, his body was flown to the United States, where he was cremated according to his wishes. But, what could be the possible reason for his sudden demise. Shocking reasons behind the icon's demise WWE legend Andre the Giant was dubbed "the greatest drunk on Earth" for once consuming over 41 litres in six hours. This was revealed during an appearance on Late Night with David Letterman , where the wrestling legend revealed to David Letterman he once drank 117 beers, but he couldn't remember because he passed out.

This led to continuous enlargement of his organs, bones, and tissues throughout his life. Andre's large size and weight put a lot of strain on his heart and cardiovascular system, which is a common issue for people dealing with untreated acromegaly. This possibly could have caused a cardiac arrest for his sudden death.

64 Terrible, Terrible, Terrible Home Design Fails

This is just ASKING to fall down the stairs. This is actually a "hear me out" for me. At least they tried? no. Finally, a microwave for Andre the Giant. 'Cause everyone loves walking through their shower to get to their toilet! Just where everyone wants a window! What is going on with these windows??? What is it with these terrible bathrooms??? These stairs are just inviting injury. This is just a death trap. Quick question: what the hell??? Why????? ????? This looks like The Thing died here. Because we all want our walls to look like they're covered in poop stains! This is just terrible. Carpet has no place in a bathroom, and I will die on this hill. And why does it go up the side of the bathtub??? Same with laundry rooms. And kitchens! The door should not be BELOW the floor. I shouldn't have to say this. The cabinet door having to be cut below this counter is really the hilarious cherry on top for me. Oh look, more death stairs. Is this supposed to be a bathroom, or...? Is this legal??? Something' here. So much for privacy! Thanks, I hate it! Great, more death trap stairs. What genius came up with this WOODEN fire escape??? Why is it not centered??? That's okay, I didn't want to close the door while I went to the bathroom, anyway. This just feels like it would be impossible to clean. Same with this. It's giving tiny NYC bathroom. Definitely NYC. This, too. And they'd charge 4k a month. Not everything needs to be ~aesthetic.~ this. What's wrong with a circular sink? We don't need to reinvent the wheel, people! I think these stairs were built by Satan himself. Same with these. I truly want to know who went, "I found it! The ideal spot for a banister!" What's the point of this? I guess it's time to learn how to pee standing up. the hell? Why is it not just against the wall??? What is even going on here? What is this? A basement entrance for an ant? How is that curtain meant to stay up? "Masterpiece" is one word for it. Let's just hope no one walks in your room while you're showering. What kind of decor is this? And this is why we don't DIY, folks! That's one way to make a ceiling fan! Not a smart or effective one, but it's a way! doesn't looks *quite* as advertised. Man, the advertising for Fantastic Four is out of control. (Side note: If I had a nickel for every time something in this post reminded me of The Thing, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.) Make this make sense. Well, this seems like a safety hazard. This makes me irrationally angry. This oven defies logic. Nothing is centered, and I hate it. :( Well, that's an annoying light switch placement. And finally...I have no words.
