I’m sad to report today that Marc Izard has been found dead in Las Vegas. He was a wrestling fan from the United Kingdom who went missing after attending SmackDown before night one of WrestleMania 42. He was found at the 1730 block of Las Vegas Boulevard South, with no cause of death announced due to a pending investigation and autopsy. My condolences to his family and friends.
