Professional wrestler Joe Doering dies at 44 after long battle with brain cancer
Professional wrestler Joe Doering has died at the age of 44 following a prolonged struggle with brain cancer. According to a statement shared by Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling, Doering passed away peacefully on June 26, 2026, at 9:13 AM, surrounded by his family. He had been battling brain cancer for more than a decade, first being diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2016. At that time, he underwent surgery to remove the mass. However, the illness returned in 2022, requiring additional medical procedures.
In late 2025, Doering was diagnosed with a third brain tumor, and his condition worsened in the following months. Earlier in June 2026, he entered hospice care as his health declined. Despite his illness, Doering is remembered for his resilience and long career in professional wrestling, which began in 2004.
Doering competed in several prominent wrestling organizations throughout his career, including Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and All Japan Pro Wrestling, where he achieved championship success. He also had a stint in WWE’s developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling in 2010, performing under the ring name Drake Brewer.
Tributes highlighted his strength, courage, and dedication to the sport. He is survived by his wife, Lindsay, and leaves behind family, friends, and fans worldwide. His passing marks the end of a notable career defined by both athletic achievement and a long personal battle with illness.

A common vitamin could help fight one of the deadliest brain cancers
A clinical trial is exploring whether high doses of vitamin B3 could give patients with glioblastoma a better chance against the aggressive brain cancer. Scientists found that niacin may help revive immune cells that tumors shut down, allowing them to attack cancer more effectively. Early results have been promising, with patients showing significantly better progression-free survival than expected.
