Markus Crane Age And Real Name Explored

Markus Crane Aka Mark Pobanz, who went by his stage name, Markus Crane, was only 33 years old when he died overnight. He had to retire from independent wrestling after undergoing surgery in 2019. 

Due to previous head injury complications, Crane was admitted to a Las Vegas emergency room on December 8, 2019.

Following a thorough examination by the medical team, it was concluded that he required emergency neurosurgery. The neurosurgery was conducted the following day as soon as it was decided. 

A craniotomy was conducted during the surgery, and it was revealed that an infection was destroying the skull and pouring into his brain. The surgeon had to remove a small part of his skull to treat the infection.

The surgery went well. The doctors did everything they could and began antibiotic treatment right away.
