La Parka Passes Away at Age 54

Jesus Alfonso Huerta Escoboza, who wrestled in Lucha Libre AAA as La Parka, passed away on Saturday at the age of 54.

He was the second wrestler to use the La Parka name and is not the original La Parka, who wrestled in WCW and has wrestled as L.A. Park since 2003 due to AAA claiming the copyright for the name.

Lucha Libre AAA stated on Twitter that La Parka suffered renal failure on January 10 and was put on medical assisted breathing. On January 11, his lungs and kidneys completely failed and he passed away on Saturday morning.

La Parka had suffered a life-threatening neck injury at an event for KAOZ Lucha Libre this past October in Monterrey, Mexico. He underwent surgery to repair his neck, requiring a lengthy hospitalization stay prior to being discharged last month. Prior to his passing, he had been gradually regaining feeling in his arms and legs.
