Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT David Von Erich's cause of death is alluded to in The Iron Claw, but conflicting real-life stories have caused confusion about what really killed the ill-fated pro-wrestler. Written and directed by Sean Durkin, The Iron Claw is a sports biopic about the famous Von Erich brothers from Texas who followed in the footsteps of their pro-wrestler father, Fritz Von Erich , and created a dynasty.
David Von Erich Died From Acute Enteritis In The Iron Claw David Von Erich Was Touring In Japan When He Died At Age 25 On February 10, 1984, David Von Erich died at age 25 in Tokyo, Japan, while touring with All Japan Pro Wrestling. He was found dead in his hotel room by a wrestling referee after failing to show up in the lobby . David's official cause of death was listed by The U.S.
While the film doesn't explicitly mention his age or the date when he passed, David Von Erich's death is portrayed fairly accurately in The Iron Claw. David's fatal illness is even foreshadowed in The Iron Claw when Kevin walks in on him throwing up blood in the bathroom at Kevin's wedding reception a week before David heads to Japan. Kevin tries to convince him to see a doctor, but David claims he just has "stomach cramps" from "a bug picked up on the road.
The Iron Claw then skips ahead to David's death, which is not shown onscreen. Instead, Fritz tells Kevin that David died in his hotel room in Japan from "a ruptured intestine" but does not elaborate on what caused it. After David's funeral, Kevin and Kerry flip a coin to decide who will take their late brother's place in the title match against Ric Flair.
Why The Truth Surrounding David Von Erich's Death Is Still Questioned Some Fellow Pro-Wrestlers Claimed David Died Of A Drug Overdose While the official account of David's death is properly depicted in The Iron Claw, the film fails to address the rumors about his "true" cause of death.
