WWE fan from UK in Las Vegas for Wrestlemania week found dead

WWE fan Marc Izard has been found dead in Las Vegas after going missing following Wrestlemania 42.

Following the biggest wrestling event of the year in Las Vegas on April 18 and 19, tragic news was revealed that superfan Izard, 43, had gone missing.

The Englishman was last seen leaving the Allegiant Stadium after SmackDown on April 17, leading to calls from family and members of the community to find him.

Natalya, the daughter of Hall of Fame member Jim Neidhart, was among those appealing for Izard's whereabouts having been the last person pictured with him on April 16.

Unfortunately, days later it was confirmed that Izard has now been found dead by police in Las Vegas.

The Clark County coroner’s office confirmed that the wrestling fan died April 18 in the 1730 block of Las Vegas Boulevard South, between East St. Louis Avenue and Oakley Boulevard.

Izard’s cause and manner of death remain pending.

Following the confirmation of the tragic news, YouTube star Perched On The Top Rope, who also shared an appeal, took to social media to offer condolences.

They wrote: "I did not know Marc, but my friends remember seeing him at WWE World. My heart breaks for his family. He came to the USA to have a good time at WrestleMania and sadly passed away. May he Rest In Peace."

Natalya is yet to release a statement following the news, having been a key part of the search efforts.

Ahead of the devastating news, she shared on X: "A member of our wrestling family, Marc Izard, is currently missing after WrestleMania weekend in Las Vegas. His last known sighting was leaving the arena after SmackDown on April 17.

"His last photo taken was with me at my sighting.

"If you have any information at all, please reach out to the email listed in the poster as well as @LVMPD. Let's come together and help bring Marc home safely."
