Terrible.  Managed to come back from a horrible Anderson Silva leg injury and keep fighting.  Then some **** like this happens?  Just not fair.

Holy ****. Rest in peace. Started re-watching TUF 5 just like.. last week, and he was absolutely hilarious on that show.

Terrible news - his poor family. 36 is way too young to die (I'm also 36).

Welp ... this may have been misreported. I posted it because the UFC confirmed it ...

Jennifer Swift, who claims to be a close friend of Corey Hill, is on Twitter and basically telling everyone doubting her that they are wrong, and that Hill has indeed passed away. 

What a ******* ****** situation. Shane Del Rosario all over again. If he's dead, that's sad enough, but if he's alive and fighting for his life while the reports of his passing come from all over the place, this is a really sad and the people reporting his death, or at least the one's who reported it initially, should be ashamed of themselves.

From TMZ

4:22 PM PT -- We just spoke with Corey's wife, Lauran Hill, who tells us Corey is still ALIVE ... despite a statement from the UFC which said Hill had passed earlier today. 

Lauran says Corey is "resting and still alive" and they're praying he makes a full recovery. 

"My husband is fighting for his life. We want him in everyone's prayers."

Lauran wouldn't comment on statements made earlier by Hill's close friends and other family members.

Looks like his wife might be thinking positive rather then pulling the plug on his life support, good for her.
