producers as well as White goofing around using some mildly foul language. On January 15, 2006, White was interviewed by Mathews again, but this time he tried to hang himself; the rope broke. For weeks afterward, WWE's official website uploaded a new video showing Mathews trying to interview White who is about to commit suicide each week in a different way. This became a regular segment on WWE's website and was given the name of Lunchtime Suicide, uploaded every Thursday at lunch time. Over a dozen sketches were aired, and the segments were widely derided as insensitive and of poor taste. On April 6, 2006, WWE.com uploaded a video where White did not attempt to commit suicide. In fact, he invited Mathews to a party at the Friendly Tap to take place the following week. The next week, Mathews attended the party, and ended up getting shot by White. Post-WWE White was released from WWE on January 9, 2009, ending his 24-year tenure with the company. White provided security for WWE superstars during appearances and autograph signings. On April 10, 2018 White appeared in numerous interviews in the HBO documentary André the Giant. He also appeared on WWE's Most Wanted Treasures in June 2021. Death On June 19, 2022, White died at the age of 68.
