On April 28, Candido died. Chris was taken to the hospital and was told that he had pneumonia and that his lungs had to be drained of fluid. Twenty minutes after he was administered local anesthesia to perform the fluid drain, Chris died of a blood clot in his leg. The blood clot was caused from the altitude pressure on his plane flight home from the wrestling event where he suffered the injury. Chris' long time girlfriend Tammy Sytch is contemplating a lawsuit against the hospital, which had treated Chris immediately after his injury, for negligence. According to Tammy, the hospital never told Chris not to fly while he was recovering from his injury. The results of Candido's autopsy were sealed by his family on October 5, as he was declared dead in New Jersey where autopsies are not on the public record. His brother, Johnny, claimed the next day that Chris had died of acute pneumonia and not a blood clot as was originally presumed by insiders. Tammy confirmed in a recent interview with RF Video that he indeed died of the blood clot. Because she was never legally married to Chris, she was not allowed any input as to his funeral arrangements. According to Tammy, Chris' parents decided to have Chris cremated against her wishes.
