Former WCW Star Dies Of Possible Drug Overdose

Written by: Keelan Balderson - March 25th, 2008

Former WCW wrestler Chase Tatum of "No Limit Soldiers" fame, was found dead around 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon, reportedly of a drugs overdose. Tatum, who was most recently an actor, was found dead by a friend at his Buckhead home. He was just 34 years of age.

"He was in the process of getting his life back together," his father said Monday evening. "He was confident he was going to turn things around, to live a normal life again without those painkillers."

Tatum retired from wrestling after about two-and-a-half years. But his brief WCW run left him battling severe back problems, leading to a pain pill addiction.

The story has already been picked up by most online news outlets, as have all tragedies since the Benoit double homicide suicide.

Rest In Peace.

Is wrestling really this rough on the body or is it merely that these pain pills are/were accessable everywhere in pro wrestling locker rooms?
