Owen tragically lost his life at "Over the Edge", May 23, 1999. As the Blue Blazer, he should have made the entrance like a superhero from the ceiling, but the cable he was connected to either broke or became disconnected and he fell 50 feet into the ring, his head hit a turnbuckle and snapped back. Owen was given CPR in the ring and taken to the hospital, where he was declared dead due to cardiac arrest.
The next day at Raw is War all the wrestlers paid there tribute to their friend Owen Hart, by telling their stories, many of them wearing a black band around their arm which read OH or Owen. They clearly stated that Owen was respected and loved and that he will be missed.
We send our condolences and sympathy to the entire Hart family. Owen is survived by his wife Martha and two children, Oje and Athena. Owen will never be forgotten. I big piece of Owen lives in all of us. We will always remember you as a great wrestler and entertainer.
