Adolfo Bresciano (August 6, 1949 - March 11, 1993) was an Italian-born Canadian professional wrestler, best known for his work as Dino Bravo, self-proclaimed as "Canada's Strongest Man" and later as the "World's Strongest Man."

On March 11, 1993, Bresciano was found shot to death, he was thought to have been shot up to 10 times in the back of the head while watching Hockey in his Vimont, Laval, Quebec mansion. It is widely believed that his alleged role in illegal cigarette smuggling in Canada led to his murder.

Yep, I heard it was from involvement with drug dealing. Surprised he didn't die from all the steriods pumped into him.
