[Source: Dave Meltzer, WrestlingObserver.com] Autopsy Results Pending in Death of Miss Elizabeth May 2, 2003 MARIETTA -- Preliminary autopsy results in the death of the professional wrestler known as Miss Elizabeth could be released Friday as authorities continue their inquiry into how she died. Elizabeth Hulette, 42, known in the wrestling world as Miss Elizabeth, was taken early Thursday from the Cobb County town home owned by Lawrence Pfohl, who wrestled professionally as Lex Luger. Rescue workers were summoned around 5:30 a.m. to the home, which is located off of Powers Ferry Road, Cobb police spokesman Cpl. Brody Staud said. He said the woman died at Kennestone Hospital shortly after she arrived, but authorities have not yet determined her cause of death. "At this point, we don't know if it's a suicide, we don't know if it's a natural death (and) we don't know if it's a homicide," said Staud, who added later that there was no indication of foul play. The woman was transported to Kennestone by ambulance. Authorities said Pfohl, 44, rode with her to the hospital. Neighbors said the woman was Pfohl's girlfriend. Several hours after Hulette was pronounced dead, Pfohl was arrested after investigators found illegal substances in his home, which were identified as large quantities of anabolic steroids. He was released from jail Thursday after posting a $25,000 bond. Authorities said police recently responded to a domestic disturbance call at his home two weeks ago, during which Pfohl was arrested for allegedly beating Hulette, according to a copy of the police report. He was out on a $2,500 bond in connection with that incident when he was re-arrested on the controlled substance charge. It was not immediately clear what the substance was. Hulette had been married to the wrestler known as Macho Man Randy Savage but the two are now divorced. Pfohl owns the Main Event fitness club in Cobb County. According to Atlanta's WXIA TV in an article found the charges to Pfohl involve charges of violating the Georgia Control Substance Act after illegal body-enhancing drugs were found in the home. Those charges are unrelated to Hulette's death. Police said they do not suspect foul play. The WXIA article states that the domestic incident between Pfohl and Heulette occurred on April 19, when Pfohl was charged with battery after police responded to the same address and found Hulette with bruises to her head. Cobb police said that incident does not appear to be related to her death. In a somewhat confusing note, while the above article states that Pfohl was released, 1 wrestling.com, however, reports that Luger DID remain in jail overnight, Luger is scheduled to appear Friday morning in the Cobb County (GA) Magistrate Court and is expected to be released on bond following that hearing. * Original article/WSB TV.com Tribute to Miss Elizabeth by Lorddess |
