UPDATE Figure Four Online is reporting that Ramirez (Aguayo Jr.) might have already been knocked out before Mysterio delivered the “619.”:
Aguayo Jr. had gotten back in the ring after taking a spinning head scissors where he bumped to the floor from Rey Mysterio Jr. Mysterio Jr. gave him a low dropkick to the back to set up the 619. It is not clear whether Aguayo Jr. was selling or not when he first hit the ropes to get ready for the 619. He may have already been injured falling on the ropes, or, while selling, and being positioned badly, when Manik fell into the ropes to set up a double 619 spot, that was when the ropes whiplashed him, although it was likely the first spot immediately.
Sources who were at Hospital del Prado in Tijuana have said that the initial cause of death was cervical spine trauma coming from when the ropes snapped his neck.
He was already out when Mysterio went for the 619 and Mysterio Jr. saw he was in trouble and didn’t hit him. The belief was he was knocked out and they continued the match, although went right to the finish.
Perro Aguayo Jr dies
Perry Aguayo Jr., who is also known as Hijo Del Perro Agauyo, died on March 21, 2015. His death was the result of injuries he had sustained during a wrestling match the night before. Perry was in a wrestling match with Rey Mysterio. Multiple sources suggest that cervical trauma was the cause of Perry’s injury.
Mysterio had dropped kicked Perry. He ended up hitting the ropes improperly and was knocked unconscious. The other wrestlers continued the match while Perry received treatment from the medical staff in the ring. He was later taken to the hospital. However, he never regained consciousness. Doctors had tried to resuscitate Perry for over an hour. He died around 1:00 A.M. Saturday morning. Perry was 35 years-old.
“I have no words for this terrible news,” Joaquin Roldan, director of the AAA wrestling federation, said through his Twitter account. “My sincerest condolences for the Aguayo Ramirez family.”

Per f4wonline.com:
Sources who were at Hospital del Prado in Tijuana have said that the initial cause of death was cervical spine trauma coming from when the ropes snapped his neck.
The attorney general for Baja California announced that they will be investigating the incident in order to determine whether any criminal charges can be filed. Perry Aguayo Jr.’s birth name is Pedro Aguayo Ramirez. He is the son of Pedro Aguayo Damian, who was also a professional wrestler.
Perry knew at a young age that he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps. He made his debut in the professional wrestling world when he was just 15 year-old.

Perro Aguayo Jr dies: Wrestler dies in ring as fight carries on around him
http://www.prowrestling.net/article.php?AAA-wrestler-Perro-Aguayo-Jr.-dies-following-injuries-suffered-in-a-match-41423
While the video is hard to watch, most likely he suffered a Basilar Skull Fracture, based on the evidence of blood in the eyes, which is visible on the Youtube footage. It’s hard to believe that a simple case of taking a bump wrong could kill somebody due to whiplash. However that is apparently what happened. Let me be clear, Rey Mysterio didn’t kill anybody. Pedro took a bump wrong, and caused his own injury in a freak accident. Rey Mysterio has been doing that spot for well over 10 years now. Perhaps due to how little time they had been working together again caused Pedro to take the bump wrong. We will ultimately never know for sure.
However even if the initial injury was survivable, Konnan shaking the every loving **** out of him was not. His head flopped all over the place. With an existing neck injury plus the additional trauma, this is a prime example of how NOT to treat someone who has experienced neck trauma.
He was obviously unconscious as indicated by his partner’s reaction who communicated his concern to the referee (you can see that on the video). At that point the referee should have stopped the match and gotten the injured wrestler immediate medical assistance. The wrestler who put him in this condition is not responsible; this was a mishap. The organization should be held responsible for this man’s death. The organization should also be tried for negligence for not having qualified medical personnel and equipment on hand during the event. The poor guy was carried out on a table for God’s sake!
Perro was supposed to stay kneeling on the second rope and take a 619 from Mysterio. He was clearly set up for it initially, but Mysterio stopped because he realized the guy was hurt, so he did it to his partner instead. Plus when guys are selling, they’re obviously still able to talk. Konnan didn’t even go over there until Mysterio and Perro’s tag team partner were clearly worried about him. He knew he was unconscious, he just thought violently shaking him was a good idea. Unfortunately.
It appears after watching the video on utube that at 2:39 that this young man’s right arm moves from underneath him beside his chest and places his hand next to his head. His body was being moved initially from being shaken, but as he was being guarded by his partner look and watch his right hand and shoulder move with the palm of the right hand being picked up (see elbow go up by himself) and then places his hand by his face. None of this looks good regardless…sad.
Rey didn’t even touch him with the 619. Watch the video before posting something horrible. I really can’t put my finger on it because when I watched the video, it didn’t look like his neck hit the ropes with Rey’s flying kick. In the video, both arms was on the ropes where you have to wonder his he died before the flying kick. It could be one of those things where a process of stunts happening could have killed him. There was nothing Rey did that was aggressive that could kill him. In the reality of pro wrestling, a stunt gone wrong can end in death or serious injury.
This incident is so bizarre and much of the reporting is flat-out wrong. Mysterio never hit him with the 619, in fact it’s clear from the video that he already knew something was terribly wrong before he set up the 619, and he swung his legs/feet over Aguayo’s head. It started with the flying head-scissors and Aguayo awkwardly flinging himself outside the ring. He was wobbly coming back into the ring and the dropkick + fall to the ropes was just the last part of a chain reaction.
