Sad story about "the fridge"

[Hammock Parties]

Here's the really sad part. Just four years ago he was active and doing cool stuff. What happened in four years?

In 2006, he came out with a barbecue sauce.[2]

In 2006, he participated in the Lingerie Bowl as the super sub.

Perry participated in a World Wrestling Federation battle royal at WrestleMania 2 in Rosemont, Illinois. In 2006, he returned to the Chicago area to be inducted into the "Celebrity Wing" of the WWE Hall of Fame by John Cena.

After he retired as a player, Perry founded his own small commodity hedge fund in his native South Carolina and made numerous public appearances.

Recently, he was named Director of Football Operations for the Continental Indoor Football League's Chicago Slaughter.

Ah, here we are:

In June 2008, he was diagnosed with Guillain–Barré syndrome, a chronic inflammation disorder of the peripheral nerves.[5]

On April 22, 2009, Perry was hospitalized in South Carolina in serious condition from his Guillain-Barré syndrome.[6]

Perry spent approximately a month in the hospital before being released. At one point his weight fell to 190 pounds, before going back up to 275 pounds.
