by The Death of Bruiser Brody:
On July 16, 1988, Brody was in the locker room before his scheduled match with Dan Spivey in Puerto Rico, when José Huertas González, a fellow wrestler and booker asked him to step into the shower area to discuss business. There was an argument between the two wrestlers and a fight ensued.
Tony Atlas ran to the shower and saw Brody bent over and holding his stomach. Atlas then looked up at González and saw him holding a knife. Due to the heavy traffic outdoors and large crowd in the stadium it took paramedics close to an hour to reach Brody.
He later died from his stab wounds. González claimed self-defense and testified in his own defense. He was acquitted of murder in 1989, because the prosecution witnesses who did not live in Puerto Rico didn’t show up, claiming that they did not receive their summons until after the trial had ended.
