Rob Van Dam says that Sabu “knew something was going on” in the days prior his death

Earlier this month, it was announced that former ECW world champion Sabu passed away at the age of 61. During his podcast, Rob Van Dam noted that Sabu was involved in a documentary and had returned from a trip to Philadelphia just prior to his death.

RVD stated the following…

“The day he got back from Philly, he got back Friday or Saturday, the day before his death. He said he wasn’t feeling well and he couldn’t hear out of his ear. The kids were talking to him and he couldn’t hear. He said that he thinks he should go to the hospital. For Sabu to say he should go to the hospital, that wasn’t something that I thought he was even capable of saying. He knew something was going on.”

“In the documentary, we have up to before he goes to Philly, but there’s some things in there he talks about where he seems like he knew something was going on. Anyway, they were going to go to the grocery store and then the hospital. After the grocery store, they changed their mind and they went home, and then Sabu passed. He had some kind of infection under his tongue. There’s all kinds of things leading up to it that likely played a role in his health even though it could have been a pure accident of a bad combination of medicines or something that finally did him in, but that’s speculation, but either way, leading up to it, he wasn’t feeling good and that’s likely part of what went down.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
