me up in our top searches, I was immediately curious. Why would people be searching for Harding now? Could it have something to do with her dazzling wrestling career? Or maybe she was caught up in another scandal?It turns out that all of my theories were wrong. Though I am sure that everyone was interested in Harding's wrestling career, this is not the only reason that people were searching for her. This weekend people began to think about the Harding case again when her accomplice in the crime died.
Tonya's old bodyguard, Brian Sean Griffith, died of natural causes in Oregon this weekend. He was originally known as Shawn Eckardt. But after serving 14 months in prison for his crimes against Nancy Kerrigan, Griffith decided to change his name and distance himself from the scandal. The exact cause of death will remain unknown until his doctor files for his death certificate.
Thirteen years later, Griffith had started a computer business and made attempts to put the past behind him. This was clearly cut short as he died at the young age of 40 this weekend. You can read more about this story from AOL Sports.
