Evan Tanner, Former UFC Middleweight Champ, Found Dead

Published by lpelham at 12:00 am under Celebrity Deaths Edit This

Evan Tanner, former Ultimate Fighting Championship Middleweight champion, was found dead in the desert near Palo Verde, California yesterday.   The 37 year old told friends he was going on a “cleansing,” which he had done before.  When his motorcycle ran out of gas, the walk in the 115 to 118 degree heat proved to be too much for the former champ. 

The outdoorsman said he was going on “a journey to solitude, to do some thinking, and to pay my respects to the great mysteries.”  He was found when friends notified authorities after not hearing from him for several days.  (Photo is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0)
