Despite numerous reports covering the death of Matt "Doink the Clown" Osborne, including an article by the LA Times, the former WWF star died in a hospital this past week, according to NBC News. He was found unresponsive in his girlfriend's home in Plano, TX when emergency medical help arrived, and was taken to a nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Original reports had claimed Osborne was found dead in the girlfriend's apartment, and that murder was being considered as a possible cause according to protocol. However, it appears as though police now believe that the incident was accidental.
