Former OVW/FCW/WWE Talent Reportedly Commits Suicide

By Nick Paglino

Former WWE Diva Stacy "The Kat" Carter has posted what appears to be a suicide from former WWE developmental talent Shawn McGrath, who reportedly committed suicide on Wednesday. McGrath, who was 34, wrestled under the name "Badseed" Shawn Osborne and was under a developmental contract with WWE from June 2006-February 2008 when he was released.

Stacy Carter posted the following note from McGrath on her Facebook page: "The lack of relationship I have had with my parents and siblings since my childhood along with the end of my WWE dream have also contributed.

The only drug I have in my system is Zoloft and it’s a prescription," he wrote. "I have never, ever been a ‘drug guy.’ … All of this happening right now is me, sober. No drugs, no alcohol."
