Here are some comments from some of his follow workers........
AIW's Press Release...
Absolute Intense Wrestling mourns the loss of Ohio-based Indy Wrestler, Matt Lowry. Matt, age 21, wrestled under the name "Matt Riot." Originally training under Shark Boy, Matt worked AIW, American Luchacore, HWA, IWA:MS and many more. Matt held the AIW Tag Titles with Sami Callihan in 2008 also teamed with Sami in other places as well. Matt who over the last few years had great personal loss, took a hiatus from wrestling in early 2009. Matt recently returned to wrestling moving to New Jersey to try and get into CZW and other local Indies. Reports are that on Monday during a routine training session a bump went awry and Matt received a bleeding of the brain. No other info is known at this time. Matt will be remembered for his great sense of humor, huge heart and his passion for the business of professional wrestling. RIP Matt Riot!

This is a tremendous shock. Matt always was a good guy at shows, and working with him was a treat. It's a shame when things like this happen, becuase it doesn't seem to make sense. He was too young to go.
RIP Matt
I can't do this anymore

I just found this at foxnews.com
"A professional wrestler's mysterious death after a training exercise has baffled police in Philadelphia, according to CBS 3.
Matt "Riot" Lowry, who wrestled in the minor leagues, died of what police called severe head injuries after participating in training exercises at "The Arena" building in South Philadelphia, the station reported.
Lowry's trainer told CBS 3 that the 22-year-old Ohio native was not injured in the ring but instead suffered an aneurysm while he was warming up.
An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday to determine Lowry's cause of death."

Combat Zone Wrestling has received many inquires about the death of independent wrestler Matt “Riot” Lowry. We would like to clarify: Matt Lowry had no position with Combat Zone Wrestling LLC, nor was he a student. He was in town to work for another promotion and came to the Arena in South Philadelphia where our performers gather to work out. He joined in some warm up activities, including running, squats and push-ups. After which, he sat in a chair and said something like " I feel dizzy". He fell over and 911 was called immediately. A local fire company responded and they called for an ambulance. CZW Owner David “DJ Hyde” Markland and other wrestlers followed the ambulance to the hospital. CZW contacted Lowry’s father and had wrestlers stay at the hospital until he arrived from Ohio. We were told Lowry died of a brain hemorrhage and that there was no evidence of acute head trauma or that his work out caused his death. CZW wishes to extend its condolences to Matt’s family and hopes that our fans will keep them in their thoughts and prayers. We at Combat Zone Wrestling LLC, remind fans that pro wrestling is a dangerous activity; however we strive to protect the safety of our students and performers through proper training and discourage anyone from attempting to imitate our performers.
