According to TMZ Sports, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair’s stepson, Sebastian Kidder, an up-and-coming musician, tragically died at the age of 24 after taking his own life.
The news was confirmed to TMZ Sports by his mother Wendy Barlow.
Per the report, Kidder died after suffering from a gunshot wound on Saturday afternoon at the family’s home in Georgia. Local police are investigating. At time TMZ Sports published their story, the circumstances leading up to Sebastian’s death is unclear.
TMZ further notes over the last few months, Kidder’s music career was beginning to take off. Just this past summer, he appeared on FOX 5 Good Day Atlanta, where he sang one of his songs and talked about releasing his first album.
Flair was said to have been a figure in Sebastian’s life for nearly a decade and a half, going all the way back to when Flair and Barlow dated before getting married.
Last month, Flair announced on social media that he and Barlow were parting ways.
Wrestleview sends its condolences to the Barlow and Flair families, during this difficult and sad time.
