... he died suddenly and horrifically, right in front of his wife.
We've
learned Warrior collapsed without warning outside an Arizona hotel at
5:50 PM Tuesday ... while walking to his car with his wife.
He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

and offered to take photos with any fan who approached him.
