ECW Legend Balls Mahoney (Jonathan Rechner) passed away at the age of 44 years old on April 12th, 2016 at his home in Spring Lake Heights, New Jersey while watching Jeopardy. Mahoney then laid down on his side, and his wife noticed he was unconscious and called 911 before attempting CPR but was unsuccessful.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office revealed to The Asbury Park Press on Tuesday that the cause of death of Mahoney was because of a heart attack.
Mahoney was recovering from a hip injury due to a fall just days before his death. During his career, Mahoney held the ECW Tag Team Titles three times and worked in WWE from 1995–1996 and 2005 – 2008.
