Update 2X: Here is the latest that TMZ is reporting:

Ultimate Warrior looked like he was on the verge of a medical catastrophe all weekend — sweaty and stressed, like he was about to “burst at the seams” … eyewitnesses tell TMZ. According to sources who were with Warrior this past weekend, the WWE legend looked like he was in constant pain … sweaty and looked very uncomfortable, like he was choking on his tie. It was apparent to everyone … something was seriously off. Another warning sign — when Warrior did his signature rope shake after his big speech on Monday Night Raw, he looked weak … and people around him noticed. One eyewitness put it this way … “We all felt like he looked like he was going to blow a gasket. It was pretty easy to see.” It makes Warrior’s speech on Monday Night Raw even more ominous … “Every man’s heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe a final breath.” 24 hours later he was dead.

Update: Here is the statement from Scottsdale police spokesman Sergeant Mark Clark, mentioning a catastrophic medical condition:

"“On April 8 at 5:50 pm 54-year-old “Warrior” James B Hellwig collapsed while walking with his wife to their car at the Gainy Suites Hotel in Scottsdale, Ariz. Scottsdale Fire transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead soon after arrival. At this point in the investigation, it appears as though a catastrophic medical condition caused his death.”"
