It is with the deepest sadness that we report former WWE Tough Enough III winner Matt Cappotelli has passed away aged 38 following a lengthy battle with a brain tumor. His wife Lindsay confirmed the news today in a posting on her Facebook page. She posted:

"Hey Team Capp...I’ve been struggling with what to say and how to say this, and I’ll probably end up rambling, but here goes. Today my love-my strong, sweet, beautiful love-took his last breath at 3:30 a.m. and went Home to be with Jesus...exactly one year after his brain surgery. You think you can be prepared for this when you know it’s coming, but you just can’t. The only person who’s comfort I want right now is the one who can’t give it to me. I miss him so much. I know where he is now is so much better, but it doesn’t change how much I miss him."

WrestlingNewsSource.com extends our heartfelt condolences to Lindsay and all of Matt's family and friends at this tragic time.
