Update.

According to an article by Jiji Press (one of Japan’s largest news wire services), Hiroshima Prefectural police have stated that the cause of death for Mitsuharu Misawa (age 46) on Saturday night was cervical spinal cord damage.

Famous Japanese referee Ted Tanabe dies at age 46

Independent promotion Osaka Pro Wrestling announced that referee Tetsuo “Ted” Tanabe, who became a fixture in W*ING, FMW, Michinoku Pro, and other top pro-wrestling promotions due to his short stature and large frame combined with exaggerated mannerisms, reportedly lost consciousness after officiating a match for Osaka Pro on the 14th. CPR was given, along with AED (defibrillator) treatment, but Tanabe could not be revived while being transported to the emergency room at an Osaka city hospital.
