The following is an article from YLE.fi:

Former Member of Parliament Tony Halme has died at the age of 47. Police told YLE that no foul play is suspected in his death. Police would not yet confirm the time, or cause of death. The late-edition tabloid Iltalehti reported in its online edition that Halme was found dead at home.

Halme, a professional boxer by training, achieved fame on the Finnish version of the Gladiators television franchise.

He was notorious for his outspoken opinions, served for one term as a Member of Parliament of the populist True Finns party, after winning a landslide of personal votes in the Parliamentary elections of 2003. In his campaign he put a special emphasis on opposition to more immigration.

Later in 2003 he was hospitalised following an incident in which he had fired a pistol in his Helsinki apartment, apparently while under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

The incident brought him a suspended prison sentence and a fine.

In October last year he was arrested for driving while under the influence of illegal drugs. Charges were still pending in the incident when he died.

(Wrestlezone)NOTE FROM EDITOR: Halme portrayed Ludvig Borga in WWE during the 1990s, as well as having a short run in the UFC which included a fight against Randy Couture.

We get a thread per week about wrestlers dying young. But they arent abusing their bodies with drugs?

Most of the guys dying are from the 80's, and 90's where drug use was rampant. Now a days, I'm hoping most guys are taken better care of themselves with all the news that is out about streraroids.

Still everytime someone writes this that way I lol.

This is sad but he only wrestled for a couple of years so it really shouldn't be a big concern. The WWE has really cracked down on this stuff now and those who don't believe it can look up the guys they have suspended which includes some of their biggest stars. I'm am sure some guys have found ways around it but to think drug use is as prevalent now as it was 10, 15, or 20 years ago is foolish.

...another SUPERSTAR?
