Personally, I thought he was older than that, but that's all I can really say.

I knew he was somewhere in his forties, just not sure exactly. I wonder if it's weight-related. I think he had been having serious weight issues again, and i wonder if it got his heart finally.

There's a touching tribute to Bam Bam on wwe.com from the wrestlers. It is always refreshing to hear these wrestlers show their respect and admiration for their peers; as well as their appreciation for paving the paths for future generations. Bam Bam will be equally missed by the fans!
I believe he is up in the "Hardcore" section of Heaven.
