Matt Lowry had no position with Combat Zone Wrestling LLC, nor was he a student. He was in town to work for another promotion and came to the Arena in South Philadelphia where our performers gather to work out. He joined in some warm up activities, including running, squats and push-ups. After which, he sat in a chair and said something like " I feel dizzy". He fell over and 911 was called immediately. A local fire company responded and they called for an ambulance. CZW Owner David Markland and other wrestlers followed the ambulance to the hospital. CZW contacted Lowry’s father and had wrestlers stay at the hospital until he arrived from Ohio. We were told Lowry died of a brain hemorrhage and that there was no evidence of acute head trauma or that his work out cuased his death. CZW wishes to extend its condolences to Matt’s family and hopes that our fans will keep them in their thoughts and prayers.
