Wrestler and talento Gorgeous Matsuno came close to death earlier this month. On November 3, he finished work in Fukushima and went drinking at a restaurant that night. After about an hour, he collapsed in the restroom, and he was found by his companion, enka singer Junko Tashiro.

Matsuno was quickly taken by ambulance to the hospital. He was in a state of cardiac arrest but was fortunately revived. Matsuno said that he had taken antidepressants at the time (while drinking), which may have resulted in acute liver failure.

Matsuno was scheduled to be discharged from the hospital earlier this week.
