Heard about this on Friday, sounds really dodgy. Even the car theft/jacking part, why would he want to steal a car? And the coroners report will be interesting too. Poor family.

I would guess it was some sort of alcohol poisoning or drug overdose.

Wrestling Observer:

"Ryan Gracie was found dead in a prison cell this morning at the age of 33. Preliminary belief is he died of a heart attack. Gracie was arrested on Friday after allegedly stealing a car at knife point after punching a 76-year-old man who owned the car and stabbing him in the hand with a kitchen knife. He crashed the car into a phone booth and then a road rail. He tried to steal a van, but the driver was able to speed away. He then tried to steal a motorcycle. The driver hit Gracie over the head with his helmet and a group of people held him down and called police. Gracie, the so-called black sheep of the movie, was a veteran of Pride Fighting Championships. He had taken both antidepressant and anti-psychotic drugs at the time of his arrest. Before dying, he was drug tested and they found cocaine, crack and marijuana in his system."

I still worry about how much of this might be true and how much might be rumoured, fabricated or mistaken identity and how much the Brazilian police were implicated?
