Medical Examiner Records Detail PAC’s Final Hours Before Death

Newly released medical examiner records have shed additional light on the final hours before the death of AEW star PAC, including a difficult detail involving his wife, Natalie Taylor. According to the records, Taylor attempted to call PAC’s phone while authorities were already on the scene investigating his death. That call came less than three hours after the couple had last spoken with each other on September 27.

The documents offer a small but painful window into the timeline surrounding PAC’s passing, which sent shockwaves through the wrestling world when it was first announced. PAC, known for his high-flying, technically precise style, built a reputation over nearly two decades as one of the most respected in-ring performers in the business, competing for promotions including AEW, NJPW, and in the UK scene before that, where he helped establish the modern British wrestling boom alongside names like Zack Sabre Jr. and Will Ospreay.

In AEW, PAC became a fixture of the roster, known for his intensity and his willingness to put his body on the line in high-stakes matches. He held championship gold across multiple promotions throughout his career and was widely regarded by peers as a locker-room leader and one of the most dedicated athletes in wrestling.

The release of medical examiner records like these is a standard part of public record procedure following a death that draws law enforcement involvement, and such documents often surface details that were not previously made public. It’s important to note that no additional information about a cause of death has been confirmed through these records, and nothing here should be read as speculation about what led to PAC’s passing. The family and those close to him have not publicly commented on these specific findings.

Stories like this are never easy to report, and the human details — a wife calling a phone she didn’t yet know would go unanswered — are a stark reminder that behind the in-ring personas, professional wrestling is populated by real people with real families who are now grieving. The wrestling community’s outpouring of tributes to PAC in the wake of his death reflected just how deeply he was respected, both for his in-ring work and for who he was outside of it.

As more information becomes available through official channels, PW Exclusive will continue to follow this story with the sensitivity it deserves. For now, the focus remains on a wrestling family and fanbase still processing the loss of a performer who left an undeniable mark on the sport across multiple continents and promotions.
