Update On Umaga’s Cause Of Death, Former WWE Star Returning To The Ring This Month

Posted by Daniel Pena on Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

– The Associated Press has released a story concerning the cause of death of former WWE performer Edward Fatu (a/k/a Umaga).

The article notes that Fatu’s passing last month “was caused primarily by the combined effects of painkillers, tranquilizers and a muscle relaxant” with “hypertensive cardiovascular disease” also mentioned as a cause.

Just before his death, Fatu had returned home after taking part in a wrestling tour in Australia. He was found unconscious at home on Dec. 3 and died after being taken to Northwest Medical Center in Houston.

    I actually liked him when he was in WCW. His moonsault for someone his weight was unlike anything I have ever seen.

    To nin and all the other haters:

    When he co headlined WM 23 and put Lashley over. Or when he main evented the rumble in 07 and put over Cena. Or when he fueded with Hardy and gave us 5 star matches.

    Just because he wasn’t a “star” doesn’t mean he wasn’t a good wrestler. Sometimes I wonder how dumbasses like you all can call yourselves wrestling fans.
