The reported circumstances are Couch was found unresponsive by his roommate sitting in front of his computer. Attempts to revive Couch were unsuccessful.
It remains to be seen if legal trouble was related to Couch's death, as he the Observer reports that Couch was scheduled to be sentenced this week over fighting with police officers.
Couch moved to Honolulu a decade ago and regularly posted photos hanging out with former wrestler Kevin Von Erich, who also lives in Hawaii.
"God Bless Tommy Rogers, passed away a few hours ago. Rest in peace my friend," Kevin tweeted Monday afternoon.
Couch appeared on "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's podcast this time last year to discuss his career, then stopped posting on Facebook in August 2014.
Rogers was at WrestleMania Weekend last year in New Orleans and posted photos with old colleagues like Ric Flair and Jerry Lawler, as well as new WWE World Hvt. champion Daniel Bryan.
