Tim Lane dead at 49, Xtreme Couture coach’s body found
Xtreme Couture coach Tim Lane is dead at 49 years-of-age according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Lane had been reported missing since Wednesday and was found dead today in the Mount Charleston area in Nevada. He served as a boxing and kickboxing coach at Xtreme Couture for more than a decade.
An official cause of death has not been formally released; however, Xtreme Couture coach Eric Nicksick posted a video that might suggest Lane was battling demons and ended his own life by way of suicide.
“This is another friend and a coach who’s taken his life,” Nicksick said in the video below. “This sh*t gets heavy. This sh*t’s too soon, and I don’t understand a lot of this stuff and the reasons why, but please make sure you tell your loved ones you love them and check in on people.”
“I appreciate everyone reaching out, but it’s very overwhelming at the moment,” Nicksick wrote in the caption that accompanied the video. “I figured this was the best and easiest way to inform people of the situation with Tim Lane. We will all be meeting tonight at Xtreme Couture around 5pm as a support group w/ @mergingvetsandplayers. I apologize if I didn’t or don’t get back to your text messages at the moment. Rest easy, my brother.”
