Being an ex-US military Ranger, Saturn jumped on those two men and fought off the two attackers; however, Saturn was shot twice in the altercation, once in the neck, and once in the shoulder.
It was after the assailant fled the scene when Saturn realized they had shot him from a 0.25. At first, he thought it was a punch that stung him, but it was a bullet.
While he was recovering, Saturn fell into the vicious cycle of drugs and spent all his hard-earned money from wrestling on drugs. In no time, Saturn lost all his savings and became homeless.
For a long time, his fans and family thought that he died because they didn’t hear from him for years. In an interview with K&S Wrestlefest in 2010, Saturn resurfaced and candidly spoke about his addiction and how he has been sober now.

“Well, I’m just now gettin’ better. I developed a bad drug habit. What people do when they’re down, you do stupid things to make it worse. You know? So I hated the world. You know, I was pretty screwed up from being shot,” Saturn said.
Unfortunately, the damage to his body has drastically affected his quality of life in recent years. As explained on his donation page, he’s showing signs of dementia.
