Eddie Fatu has been hospitalized and is in critical conditions. Former WWE star Umaga, whose real name is Edward Fatu, is receiving medical treatment in a Houston hospital. A close friend described his condition as “life threatening,” according to Wrestlingobserver.com.
According to the report, Fatu fell asleep while watching television last night. Several hours later, his wife found him not breathing and blood flowing from his nose and he was rushed to the hospital. His family was told that he may have suffered a heart attack.
Edward “Eddie” Fatu is a Samoan-American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Umaga. Over the summer on June 8, 2009, Fatu was released from his WWE contract after failing a drug test and declining the company’s request to go to rehab.
Nonetheless, the “Umaga Dead” report is only a rumor. Let’s just hope it stays a rumor.
UPDATE:
Edward “Eddie” Fatu, the former WWE Star Umaga, has passed away, according to The Sun. His family has confirmed that the former WWE intercontinental champion died from a heart attack. He was only 36-years-old.
