RIP James Castle.
Fightful is sad to report that Independent wrestler James Castle has passed away after battling Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Castle’s partner Zoe Lucas made the announcement of his passing.
On Saturday 15th June after 4 years of treatment, 12 rounds of chemotherapy, 2 bone marrow transplants, radio therapy and countless experimental trials we lost Jamie Stacey @JamesCastle49 to Acute Myeloid Leukaemia.
Thank you for giving me the best 9 years of my life
