Ric Flair‘s family is in mourning
The WWE icon’s stepson Sebastian Kidder has died. He was 24.
His mother Wendy Barlow, the wrestler’s ex, confirmed to TMZ that her son died by suicide Oct. 26.
“I am devastated and shocked,” she told the outlet in comments posted Oct. 26. “This is an epidemic with your young men. And mental health.”
Wendy also announced Sebastian’s passing on social media, sharing one of his final photos, a selfie, which he had himself posted on his own page the day he died.
“There are no words to express the pain I am feeling from the loss of my Baby @sebastianonthemic,” she wrote on Instagram. “Mommy Loves you.”
Sebastian, whose mom played “Fifi the Maid” alongside Ric at World Championship Wrestling (WCW) events, grew up in the Atlanta area and is one of four siblings. He was a rock musician and had released his first album in July.
He told Fox 5 Atlanta the previous month that the record incorporates “a lot of pain, a lot of suffering,” plus romance, sexual energy and lust.
