Frantic WWE star Ashley Urbanski issued an emotional plea to fans for help after her brother vanished in San Francisco following a car accident.
Urbanski, better known by her ring name Shotzi Blackheart, took to Instagram to share that her older brother Dean ‘Deano’ Urbanski, 51, had been involved in a car crash in Fort Mason in the Bay City area near the water.
Dean was last seen on Tuesday afternoon when he is said to have walked away from the scene of the accident, prompting an urgent search by federal park police.
‘Security footage shows him walking away from the vehicle afterward,’ she wrote in the post. ‘He may be confused or disoriented.’
Shotzi later shared that her brother had been found and taken to hospital in a social media update.
Police released a photo that shows Urbanski walking in the park around 1:45pm local time, after the car crash.

Dean was notably wearing ‘only one brown/tan’ slipper, light blue jeans, a black shirt, and a gray or blue long-sleeved hoodie. Investigators also noted that he has identifiable neck tattoos.
Shotzi said that his ‘car was found crashed near Fort Mason/Marina District’ in San Francisco, while police added that he was last seen walking toward Bay and Laguna streets.
The wrestling star desperately stressed that the situation was especially urgent as her brother is undergoing dialysis and needs daily treatment.
‘We are still frantically searching for our brother. I will be in [San Francisco] flyering (sic) around the area to find Deano. If anyone can help pass out flyers with us it would be greatly appreciated,’ she wrote in the post.
She said that she believes that Dean could be suffering from ‘Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome’ – a condition involving neurological symptoms that sometimes occur after dialysis and can lead to confusion.
After he was found, Shotzi expressed her gratitude to all the fans who shared the ‘Missing Person’ flyer and spread the word.
‘The support and kindness from so many people truly means the world to our family,’ she wrote.
Shotzi last competed with the WWE last year under its NXT program before her contract expired. She is now signed to Major League Wrestling.
