Not many people know about Ric’s sons David and Reid Flair, while David has been an on-screen character in WWF/E, TNA and WCW, his younger brother Reid Flair was also training to become a professional wrestler until the tragedy struck.
On March 29, 2013, Reid was found dead at a South Park Residence Inn hotel room in North Carolina. According to the official autopsy report, Reid Flair had died from an accidental overdose of heroin and other drugs like clonazepam and xanax. Substantiating the fact the Reid’s death was accidental was the last tweet sent from his account. You can read the tweet here. It’s really sad to lose a budding talent like this.
Reid’s death became a talking point when Paige mentioned it during her feud with Charlotte. However, WWE realized it was a mistake to generate heat by mentioning Reid’s death in a feud that was not very personal and have not mentioned the same on air again.
