The pro wrestling world is mourning the loss of Ring of Honor star Jay Briscoe, who has died at just 38 years old.

ROH owner Tony Khan announced the news on Twitter, referring to Jay by his real name, Jamin Pugh.

Kahn wrote, “Sadly, Jamin Pugh has passed away. Known to fans as Jay Briscoe, he was a star in ROH for over 20 years, from the first show until today. Jay and his brother Mark dominated ROH, reigning as champions to this day. We’ll do whatever we can to support his family.”

He ended with, “Rest In Peace Jamin.”

Citing wrestling websites, Sports Illustrated reports Briscoe died in a car accident in Laurel, Delaware.
