Matt Bourne, original Doink The Clown, dead at age 56

Pro wrestler Matt Bourne (real name Matthew Osbourne) was found dead on Friday at age 56. The cause of death is unknown at this time.

Powell's POV: Bourne's most notable run came as the original Doink The Clown for WWE/WWF. He also worked for several territories and had a one-year run in WCW. Bourne battled substance abuse issues over the years and did interviews in recent years in which he spoke of being clean. There is some confusion over his age, as his Wikipedia page lists him as 55, though other reports state that he was 56 at the time of his passing.
