The WWE says William Moody, better known to pro wrestling fans as Paul Bearer, the pasty-faced, urn-carrying manager for performers The Undertaker and Kane, has died. He was 58.

A spokesman for the wrestling circuit said Mr. Moody's family contacted the WWE to report the death Tuesday.

No cause was released.

The WWE partly molded Mr. Moody's character after his real-life job in the mortuary business.

After promoting minor-league wrestling, Mr. Moody joined the WWE in 1990 and became a popular personality.
