Ryan was arrested twice due to his aggressive behavior. On 15 December 2007 at approximately 1:30am, he was arrested for stealing cars and injuring a 76-year-old man with a knife. At approximately 7:00am he was found dead in his prison cell apparently due to the effect of drugs

Sounds mighty fishy. The real cause of death might have been pissing off the wrong people...

From what I hear the Brazilian cops are rather rough on their prisoners so that might've been a cause.

Although I don't condone the alleged activity outlined above, its always sad when great talent goes to waste. Condolences to his family.

So, we'va had the Mafia and the police as prime suspects. Anyone else? Aliens?

[fire cobra]

Aliens!? wheres Dick Hardman at when we need him?

terrible waste. I felt he had the talent to be better in MMA than Renzo and royce were in the modern era. A tragedy.
He always seemed super aggresive like he was on steriods.

My condolences to the entire Gracie Family. It is a sad thing when something like this happens.

Condolences to the Gracie Family and those that loved him. I have a lot of respect for the Gracie family. My heart also goes out to the innocent elderly man he stabbed with a knife.....

Considering the Gracie family is the most influential family in Brazil. I would suspect he would be tratd with kid gloves.

Damn! That sucks. He truly was talented. I for one will miss him and I send my condolences to the family.

This is very sad news, I enjoyed watching him fight and it's always tragic when someone so young dies. This most definately sounds fishy to me; it smacks of foul play but I don't pretend to have any idea what actually happened. I'm just sorry to hear that a talented athlete died at a young age.

Ryan has been in trouble before, he was always a ticking time bomb.
