“It breaks my heart to tell you that my friend Mike Rotunda placed under hospice care“former WWE wrestler Leilani Kai posted on social media Tuesday morning along with a photo of them hugging earlier this year.
“Please pray for Mike and the Rotunda family. We love you Mike,” she said.
Barry Windham, Rotunda's son-in-law and former WWE tag team partner, told about his condition over the weekend at a convention in Florida.
“It's pretty tough…Mike is in hospice right now,” he said in an interview with wrestling journalist Bill Apter. “Anyway, this family – I love this family. But it's so tragic.”
Neither Kaye nor Windham provided further information about what led to Rotunda being admitted to hospice care, but said the situation is especially sad given the loss the family has already suffered.
