Former WWE star Umaga (Eddie Fatu) was removed from life support earlier this afternoon, reports WWE announcer Jim Ross, who says he spoke with a friend of Fatu's family.
Fatu's official death is expected to be announced this evening. He was on life support at a North Houston hospital after his wife found him unresponsive this morning at his home in Spring, Texas. Fatu reportedly suffered a massive heart attack. We reported originally that Fatu was found bleeding from his mouth and nose when he was found in his home. ![]() |

Really sucks. Truly one of the better big men, his Royal Rumble match with John Cena was fantastic. Apparently he was in contact with WWE again recently.

WWE Sinks to a New Low.
From WWE.com
WWE would like to express its deepest condolences to Mr. Fatu’s family, friends and fans on his tragic passing. Mr. Fatu was under contract with WWE at various time periods and most recently performed under the name "Umaga." Mr. Fatu's contract was terminated on June 11, 2009. ........ Thats good WWE that you all mentioned on when you terminated Umaga's contract when he just died. Wouldn't want any bad press to get on your company or have people think that he died while employed with the company. What heartless, selfish assholes they are. |

No surprise really. This will likely get press coverage due to his involvement in the Trump storyline and Linda running for the Senate.
Cold but not a surprise. |

I can just hear the WWE spokes people now...
"No No, don't blame us for him dying, we fired him almost 6 months ago, June 11, 2009 to be exact." This is what kind of world we live in now. Sad. LONG LIVE THE SAMOAN BULLDOZER........ UUUUUUUUUMAGA!!!!!! |

As a side note, how many more stigmas can Mr. Kennedy be labeled with? Son of a bitch cant get a break, first with the being injury prone thing, then being the last opponent of two wrestlers before they passed on.
I'd be shaken as hell if I were he. |

Umaga, you were in a headlining match and helped draw 80,000+ people in Detroit. Thats amazing. Rest in peace.

I know, they mean well, but they didn't have to write the date in there of when they fired him. He JUST died. Just now. Let a couple of days pass at least.

Wonder if The Rock will speak publicly on him, I believe he and Umaga were cousins.

How is this inappropriate in the least? They're just saying that he wasn't currently working for the company.

I'm saying this is far from a new low. They've gone MUCH lower in the past.

You are completely 100% right, forgot all about that. So long ago. WWE has not sunk to a new low. The interview with Melanie Pillman the day after Brian's death was the lowest thing ever. Vince McMahon should be ashamed of himself.

The wording sucks, but I don't find it to be malicious at all. I suppose they could've said "Fatu last appeared in the WWE at the Extreme Rules PPV" or something, but I don't think they meant any harm by it.
Now if they have CM Punk come out next week and tell us that he tried to tell Umaga to stop doing drugs and now he's dead, then yeah, that would be in bad taste. |

How about, "Umaga last performed with WWE until June of this year and was most recently on an independent wrestling tour of Australia, we send our condolences to his family." That would have been much more professional and compassionate. |

It's ridiculous that they felt that they had to add the actual date they might as well have taken it a step further and have Vince McMahon come out and say "I didn't do it he screwed himself!" it makes them look more guitly if anything.

Because the WWE doesn't work with the independent company and realistically anyone concerned about getting compassion from wwe.com probably has their head up their ass.
