From the Wrestling Observer:
Mike "Johnny Grunge" Durham was pronounced dead on arrival at an Atlanta area hospital this morning.
The only available details were he was at a friend's house in Peachtree City, GA and was gasping for air and rushed to the hospital. The preliminary diagnosis from the hospital is that it was said to have to do with complications from sleep apnea.
Grunge and the late Rocco Rock (Ted Petty), as the tag team of Public Enemy, were the first major stars created by ECW in a program against The Funk Brothers. They became ECW's most popular act, to the point they were subject to a bidding war of sorts between WCW and WWF. However, taken out of the ECW environment, they weren't as successful.
Grunge, whose age is believed to be 39, was said by friends to have never been the same since Petty's death.

:'(Rest In Peace, Johnny Grunge, and thanks for the memories
