Re: Umaga Dead

This is bullcrap.

He was really talented. Can't believe he is dead...

Re: Umaga Dead

Torch pulled it.

He is in bad shape according to Meltzer.

Edward Fatu, 36, is hospitalized in Houston and in what was described as life threatening condition by a long-time friend.
His family was told to come into town as quickly as possible.
Details are sketchy at this point but he apparently fell asleep last night while watching television, and several hours later, his wife found him not breathing with blood coming out of his nose and he was rushed to the hospital.

EDIT: OK, now he's dead. RIP.

Re: Umaga Dead

RIP, a total tragedy. Painkillers are the main reason so many wrestlers have died young and not steroids IMO.

But I don't want to get into that in this thread, it's just a shame.

It doesn't say anything on WWE, and this is what Figure Four said:

All it says on Ken Kennedy's Twitter page is this:

Say a prayer for my boy Umaga.

Re: Umaga Dead

Turns out my friend is getting info from the same place everyone is (the net). Umaga is NOT dead, but is on life support according to the Torch.

Re: Umaga Dead

I've never really checked the Torch. They seem to have false information a lot. I either go with Figure Four, or TWNP. When it comes to wrestlers dying, I usually check WWE.com before believing anything else.

If he passes, WWE will report, and I'd assume they'd report fairly quick.

I dont get it, by "pain killers' we are talking like industrial strength addictive type stuff, not advil right?

needless to say 36 is way to young to go, RIP

Yes, we are talking high end medical pain killers, like Valium.

He's not dead yet. Hopefully he can pull through, but apparently it sounds bad.

Re: Umaga Dead

Figure Four/Wrestling Observer is now reporting this:

Family members have been told they believe he suffered a heart attack.

Re: Umaga Dead

Aw geez.

While I never really liked his wrestling style you can't deny the guy was pretty talented and could put on a show. Painkillers and other high end drugs are killing so many wrestlers out there.

I'm willing to wager the autopsy will reveal that his heart was enlarged as well.

R.I.P.

Chavo just posted on his Twitter:

Hey guys need some prayers for Umaga and his family. Thank u

It's nice that so many of these wrestlers stick together like this.

Re: Umaga Dead

He always was one of my favorites. What a shame. Hopefully he can pull through.

Re: Umaga Dead

WTF!? I hope he's alright, I honestly don't know why wrestlers do this to themselves.
