He was 81.The wrestling organization posted an article confirming his death, and a statement about his passing also was posted on his Twitter page giving details of his life. Neither statement mentioned a cause of death nor where he died, but the Twitter post said he “departed this world peacefully.”The Iron Sheik, whose real name was Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri, grew up in a small village in Iran where he embraced wrestling in his youth.During his pro wrestling career, he donned curled boots and used the “Camel Clutch” as his finishing move during individual and tag team clashes in which he played the role of an anti-American heel for the WWF, which later became the WWE.The mustachioed, barrel-chested br...Former UK leader Boris Johnson to step down as lawmaker

(KRON) -- A suspected Contra Costa County killer was identified and arrested Thursday in connection to the death of Larry Abercrombie, a father of three. "Nearly 16 years after the killing of a Pittsburg man, DNA evidence has led to the arrest of his killer," the Pittsburg Police Department wrote Friday. Abercrombie, 33, was found suffering from gunshot wounds in front of his home on Catamaran Circle on June 8, 2007. No arrests were made. The cold case remained unsolved until advances in DNA technology were utilized by a detective and the Contra Costa County Crime Lab this year. "Recently, a Pittsburg Police Department Cold Case detective, who has been actively working this case, submitted evidence collected from the crime scene to the Contra Costa County Crime Lab for additional DNA testing. Utilizing modernized technology ... the crime lab was able to get a DNA match for the suspect. Detectives obtained a warrant for Blake’s arrest," PPD wrote.

And in these playoffs, no team has been anywhere near as good as the Panthers have in extra time. They’re 7-0 in overtime in this postseason, the most recent of those wins coming Thursday when they rallied to beat the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2 in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.“Overtime wins are more fun,” Maurice said. “They are, right? We’ve had a whole bunch of them. And we haven’t over-celebrated but they are more fun, right?
