Wrestling veteran Konnan is reportedly dealing with severe health issues.
Rumours about the 62-year-old's health started spreading around social media earlier this week, with some even claiming that the former WWF star had passed away.
El Planchitas, a collaborator of Record Mexico, wrote on X, however, that Konnan was still hospitalized in San Diego, and he had his leg amputated:
I can confirm that Carlos Santiago Espada (62 years old) had a leg amputated. For some time now, the Triple A star has been dealing with health problems that have left him in a delicate state in San Diego, United States.

The story has been picked up by other outlets in Mexico, with Herald Mexico saying that the amputation was a result of long-term health issues, and Konnan is at risk of getting his other leg amputated as well.
Known for his work in WCW and TNA among other promotions, the wrestling legend has also been a part of the AAA creative team. Though he has been less active in recent years owing to various health issues, including a February 2021 hospitalization after contracting COVID-19.
Stay tuned for more updates on his status.
