    Where's Waldo?
    In the crematorium!

    Sorry, I couldn't resist. Never heard of the guy, but RIP I suppose.

    Kevin Von Erich is alive and well. Haven't seen him lately at (the suck which has become) North Texas football games, though.

    He spoke at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony in April, as he and his brothers were inducted.

    I think he and his family moved to Hawaii where he has some real estate holdings.
