Sabu's Health Struggles In Final Days Before Passing Detailed

Sabu noted in the days ahead of his passing that he needed to go to a hospital and had plans to go to the emergency room before ultimately deciding to go home, according to Rob Van Dam.

RVD detailed Sabu's final days on his 1 of a Kind podcast.

"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," Van Dam said.

"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."

Sabu was also dealing with an infection at the time of his passing, according to Van Dam.

"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," RVD added.

Sabu passed away on May 11. The investigation to determine Sabu's cause of death has been delayed because Sabu and Hitomi Brunk were never officially divorced and she wants nothing to do with the situation.
