Guerrera rolled him over for a pinfall and got the three count to win the match. They realized shortly after the match that something was wrong. Some more wrestlers and medical staffs ran towards the ring to help Silver King. They soon take the wrestler to a local hospital but it was too late for him.
An Ambulance carried him to the hospital as early as possible but he has already expired by then. The allegation is that there was not enough medical attention available. King may not have to pass away like this in that case. Fans and wrestlers have already mentioned this as one of the most tragic incidents to take place around the pro-wrestling circuit. The IWC is talking about this sudden demise of this veteran star who was an asset to Lucha Libre Wrestling.
Some of the fans captured the finishing moments of the match which you can see in this article. Even WWE.com released an official statement paying tribute to late Silver King,
“WWE is saddened to learn that Lucha Libre legend and former WCW star Silver King has passed away at age 51.
A champion luchador in his native Mexico, Silver King, real name César Cuauhtémoc González Barrón, entertained audiences across the globe and was a standout in WCW’s Cruiserweight division in the late ’90s. Outside the ring, he appeared under a mask as the villainous Ramses in the popular 2006 comedy “Nacho Libre.”
WWE extends its deepest condolences to Silver King’s family, friends and fans.”

He had never been part of the WWE but he did wrestle in the WCW which Vince McMahon took over. So WWE had to offer the formality sending thoughts and prayers to the family of Silver King. We would also like to send our condolences to the late great and his family. May his soul rest in peace.
