Mystery surrounds why professional wrestler took his own life Mystery surrounds why a “gifted, charismatic” professional wrestler took his own life just days after spending Christmas with his family, an inquest has heard.
The inquest held in Mr Chapman’s home city of Portsmouth heard that he had small amounts of alcohol and ketamine in his system but these would not have contributed to his death.
The hearing was told that Mr Chapman, known as Mad Kurt, had paused his work as a wrestler but had organised a contest in the near future.
It also heard that Mr Chapman enjoyed gambling but had saved some of his winnings and was not in debt.
Coroner Rosamund Rhodes-Kemp recorded a conclusion that Mr Chapman took his own life.
