The Star Tribune out of Minneapolis published an obituary on Zenk  who's real name is Thomas Erwin Zenk, saying that he passed away on Saturday, December 9 at North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale, Minnesota.

He was 59 years old. Additional details on his death have not been disclosed at the moment.

Zenk joined the WWF in late 1986 as part of a tag team with Rick Martel known as The Can-Am Connection. However in July 1987, Zenk quit the promotion due to a financial dispute.

After stints in All Japan Pro Wrestling and the AWA, Zenk joined WCW in September 1989. Known as "The Z-Man" Tom Zenk, the Minnesota native achieved his greatest success as part of a tag team with Brian Pillman. Together, they captured the NWA United States Tag Team Championship. Zenk also held the WCW World Television Championship, and the WCW World Six-Man Tag Team Championship with Dustin Rhodes and Big Josh.

Zenk parted ways with WCW in 1994, then returned to All Japan Pro Wrestling for a brief period. In August 1996, he joined the American Wrestling Federation, where he ended his career in October 1996.

Our condolences go out to the loved ones of Thomas Zenk.
