Jimmy Del Ray has died.

[Tired]

David Ferrier, better known as Jimmy Del Ray, has died.

Within the last few hours, his family have publicly confirmed that he had died on Saturday. He has suffered a heart attack. He was only 52.

Ferrier has competed in a number of companies, but is best known for being one half of the Heavenly Bodies tag team with Tom Prichard. He and Prichard are 5 time tag team champions across Pennsylvania Championship Wrestling, Smoky Mountain Wrestling and United States Wrestling Association. He has also held singles titles in Florida Championship Wrestling, Future Championship Wrestling, Independent Wrestling Association Mid-South and SMW. He never won any titles in the WWE.

This has been a particularly bad year for wrestling-related deaths. We have already lost Mae Young, Nelson Frazier, Jr. (Mabel, Viscera & Big Daddy V), Sean O'Haire, Ox Baker, The Great Scott, Ultimate Warrior and others.

Personally I didn't know Jimmy as a superstar but it's always a bad thing when happens something like this. RIP Jimmy Del Ray

I think The Heavenly Bodies would be a great mod for Showdown64 CBV R.I.P. Gigolo Jimmy Del Ray

I agree. I used to really like that tag team. I only know their WWF stuff, but I thought they were really good. And I loved Del Ray's moonsault onto a standing opponent. I always thought it was cooler than a moonsault onto an opponent lying down.

I watched these guys for years in Memphis/USWA and "The Gigolo" will truly be missed. R.I.P.

Damn. Haven't thought about this guy in a while, but immediatley rememebered him reading about it. That sucks. Dude was young.

Hart-attacks are so tragic!....
Rest-In-Peace! I wish R.I.P meant Return If Possible, really missing him)
