“Rowdy” Roddy Piper died in his sleep at his home on Friday at the age of 61, according to a report.
The wrestling icon was found dead at his Hollywood home, TMZ says.
“I am devastated at this news. Rod was a good friend as well as a client and one of the most generous, sincere and authentic people I have ever known. This is a true loss to us all,” Piper’s rep told TMZ.
Roddy Piper has a wife and four children, including a son who is pursuing a career in wrestling.
Just last week, Piper did a radio interview with “The Rich Eisen Show” and made headlines for his comments defending Hulk Hogan.
