Wrestler Jay Briscoe Dies, Daughters in Critical Condition After Car Crash
‘HE WAS A STAR’
Ring of Honor pro wrestler Jay Briscoe died in a car accident in Delaware on Tuesday evening, according to reports. He was 38. The crash in Laurel also claimed the life of the other driver, Lillyanne Ternahan, 27, according to Delaware State Police, and left Briscoe’s two daughters, aged 9 and 12, in critical condition. “Gracie is on her way into surgery on her back,” wrote Briscoe’s wife, Ashley Pugh, in a Facebook post Wednesday morning, adding that their other daughter Jayleigh is stable and resting. “Jamin would want the whole world praying for his little girl,” she added. “Pray for her precious legs to move again!” Briscoe—whose real name was Jamin Pugh—was ROH’s World Tag Team Champion along with his brother, Mark. Briscoe was inducted into ROH’s Hall of Fame last year after first joining the promotion in 2002.
