Smith is the first of Stu and Helen Hart’s twelve children. He was trained in the infamous Hart Dungeon and spent the majority of his career performing for Stampede Wrestling and the World Wrestling Council. He even teamed up with Bret Hart to capture the WWC Caribbean Tag Team Championships.
The heart of the matter
Smith Hart took to social media to announce that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer on January 21, 2016. Less than two weeks later, Bret Hart revealed that he was suffering from the same illness.
While his younger brother’s condition was contained, Smith’s cancer spread to his hip. The initial round of treatment was unsuccessful, and he was later forced to undergo chemotherapy.
On February 07, 2017, the former Stampede Wrestling standout’s diagnosis was classified as terminal, and he was given a year to live. He then announced that he had entered hospice care on June 05, 2017.
