– WWE has provided a statement on the news that broke this week of a two year-old who died after her mother’s boyfriend performed “wrestling moves” on her. The company issued the following statement to 411 about the death of Addie Cook, reportedly at the hands of Richard Gamache, Jr.

“We are deeply saddened by this tragic death and hope that the guilty parties are brought to justice. There is no excuse or justification for the brutal and ultimately fatal beating of a 2-year-old child by a grown man. This is a clear case of criminal intent and a lack of parental supervision.”

Gamache was charged with abuse as well as neglect of a child and has a $500,000 cash-only bond. Cheyenne Cook was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and has a $2,500 cash-only bond.
