Benjamin Satterley, the wrestler known as Pac, was found dead in Illinois on Sunday, and All Elite Wrestling announced his death later that night. He was 40.

The Des Plaines Police Department told OutKick Dropkick that there were no signs of foul play and that the circumstances were not considered suspicious. Police said the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office would determine the cause of death. The Daily Mail, citing dispatch audio reviewed by the California Post, reported that medics were called at about 4 p.m. to a CAVA parking lot in Des Plaines after Satterley was found unresponsive in a vehicle. Reports said he had competed at AEW’s All Out event before his death; the New York Post placed that appearance on Saturday.
