RIP Eddie 'Umaga' Fatu
 
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.

Wow, sucks. Don't do drugs.

Anybody Thrilla 12-04-2009 02:19 PM

God damn it, this is awful. I just met the guy back in May. :(

I'm going to a local wrestling show tonight with Rosey on the card (now RO-Z). I wonder if he's even going to compete now.

RIP Umaga.

CSL 12-04-2009 02:21 PM

Okay, now it seems some fool published this 'report' early

Tb1 12-04-2009 02:23 PM

Yeah I can't find a report confirming this.

Schlomey 12-04-2009 02:23 PM

fuck.

CSL 12-04-2009 02:24 PM

PWTorch have now removed the article...

The Destroyer 12-04-2009 02:25 PM

Can't find anything anywhere to support this.

It's been added to his Wikipedia article but the PW Torch link in the citation is a 404.

Schlomey 12-04-2009 02:26 PM

if this is another daniel pena scandal I'm going to hunt his little ass down.

Ol Dirty Dastard 12-04-2009 02:26 PM

Yeah hoping this is fake.

IC Champion 12-04-2009 02:27 PM

I cant find anything confirming it.

Lock Jaw 12-04-2009 02:28 PM

Yeah, was just looking around and the only thing that checks out so far is Kennedy's Twitter.

I'll hope for the best until I hear otherwise.

Yeah, I checked Wiki as soon as I saw the Kennedy comment and there was nothing. 10 minutes later there was a PWTorch report and he was dead on Wikipedia. All seems to have stemmed from the Kennedy comment. Wiki now says 'suspected drug overdose'. Maybe he's in a bad way? Do people 'say a prayer' for already dead people?

mike adamle 12-04-2009 02:31 PM

Ryan Clark says he's in the hospital and in bad shape, but it's fucking Ryan Clark.

The Gold Standard 12-04-2009 02:32 PM

On the PWTorch app, the article is still up.

The Gold Standard 12-04-2009 02:32 PM

They just took it off the app.

This is one reason why Wikipedia is a good resource... people update the article with new, correct information as soon as it comes out.

CSL 12-04-2009 02:40 PM

Yeah, that same report is on a few sites now. Gonna update the op

Fignuts 12-04-2009 02:42 PM

Hope he pulls through.

addy2hotty 12-04-2009 02:43 PM

Not good. Not good at all.

Tb1 12-04-2009 02:44 PM

C'mon Umaga :(

EDWARD 12-04-2009 02:56 PM

damn say it ain't so

CSL 12-04-2009 03:23 PM

Blue Meanie:

"...keeping Umaga in his thoughts. He has been reported as passing BUT he is still alive and in very serious condition. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts."

Val Venis:

"...praying for my friend Eddie Fatu and his family. I just spent the last 2 weeks with Eddie in Australia and I am currently shocked and saddened by this news. I cannot believe this is happening again"

RGWhat316 12-04-2009 03:24 PM

Wow, this is shocking to hear. I hope he pulls through.

Dark-Slicer Diago 12-04-2009 03:26 PM

I hope Umaga pulls through this, I don't hearing this type of new about anyone.

Evil Vito 12-04-2009 03:31 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Wow, this is horrible. :(

The sad thing is...given the apparent repeated drug test failures and WWE firing him for not attending rehab, I can't say I'm surprised. Really hope he pulls through.</font>

ClockShot 12-04-2009 03:37 PM

Bummer. Always liked the Umaga character.

But I'm with the majority, drugs are bad. Should have taken the rehab visit instead of leaving the WWE.

Sad day. :(

Evil Vito 12-04-2009 03:40 PM

<font color=goldenrod>An eerie thing I just though of. If he does pass, I'm pretty sure his final match was in Hulk's Australia against Kennedy...Eddie Guerrero's final match was also with Kennedy.</font> :(

Breaking Update: Talent Tweeting On Umaga
By Ryan Clark on Friday, December 4th, 2009 at 3:28 PM EST

Several wrestlers have posted messages on Twitter regarding the hospitalization and rumored death of former WWE superstar Eddie “Umaga” Fatu. Here’s what some of them are saying:

Ken “Mr. Kennedy” Anderson: “Say a prayer for my boy Umaga”

D’Angelo Dinero / Elijah Burke: “Pope was informed many hours ago of my friend Umaga. Pope will not comment until the family speaks, neither should you. Prayer is key! ~ PHS”

Bobby Lashley: “Very sad day today. A good friend is gone.”

The Jayman 12-04-2009 03:48 PM

Kennedy...the real Legend Killer

GD 12-04-2009 03:52 PM

Fight Umanga!

TGR 12-04-2009 03:54 PM

Come on...Not Umaga. >:(

Evil Vito 12-04-2009 03:55 PM

<font color=goldenrod>He's off life support.</font> :(

Storer50 12-04-2009 04:02 PM

This sux Umaga had some of the most impressive offense since Kanyon retired.

The Jayman 12-04-2009 04:07 PM

:y: <---Here is my salute. If only the thumb was taped :(

Verbose Minch 12-04-2009 04:20 PM

Youmanga... :(

GD 12-04-2009 04:24 PM

Shit

Hanso Amore 12-04-2009 04:25 PM

FUcking crazy the mortality rate of these guys.

I imagine this was a long time coming if he was fired for his drug issues. Very Sad.

Shadow 12-04-2009 05:09 PM

If he's dead....fucking hell.

Sucks so much cause he had such a bright and promising future.

Cool King 12-04-2009 05:17 PM

This is terrible news. :(

Apparently, his family were that he suffered a heart attack or something.

I just hope he pulls through and makes a quick recovery.
