On May 1, 2003, in Marietta, Georgia, Luger called
9-1-1 from his home and reported that Elizabeth was not breathing. She did not respond to
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and paramedics rushed her to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Elizabeth was 42 years old. Luger's phone call was later aired on an episode of
WWE Confidential. Luger was arrested later that day after a search of the residence revealed a number of illicit
controlled substances, including anabolic steroids,
OxyContin, synthetic
growth hormone,
testosterone, temazepam and alprazolam. He was charged with 14
drug possession counts, 13 of them
felonies. Luger pled guilty to the charges on February 3, 2005. He was fined $1,000 and sentenced to 5 years probation.

Feeling that the lifestyle and being a part of that industry had taken her daughter from her, Elizabeth's mother pointedly banned anyone from the wrestling industry from attending her funeral, which was held in Kentucky. Elizabeth was buried beside her grandparents.
