That's a stupid, immature sentiment and I'm not suprised to see you're only 16. People make mistakes and drugs can take over lives. It may be his own fault, but it doesn't make it any less tragic. Tragic is when a baby is born with a terminal disease. Tragic is when a child dies young. Tragic is when a family passes away at night due to carbon monoxide poisoning. It is not tragic when a grown millionaire with a family refuses to get help for his drug addiction and as a result dies of a drug overdose. Well to me it is. All of those are tragic. I'm sorry if I don't conform with the 'people who use drugs deserve to die' thinking but I don't see how people can be so cruel. This is a guy who worked his ass off and gave us hundreds of hours of entertainment. To basically you say that you don't care that he died means you're at the very least a sh*tty wrestling fan.

hardly that reliable, but on wiki it says March 28, 1973 - December 4, 2009. lets hope it's not true.

Well, I have absolutly no sympathy whatsoever if it's drug related. WWE offered him help for his addiction, he refused. It's his own damn fault. That's a stupid, immature sentiment and I'm not suprised to see you're only 16. People make mistakes and drugs can take over lives. It may be his own fault, but it doesn't make it any less tragic. I see you're point, but surely, if you were offered a hand to save you from falling off a cliff you'd take it right? Him turning down the offer of rehabilitation is simply the equivalent of turning down the hand at the cliff side.

You are allowed to have your opinion, and you can define tragic as however you want. I personally think in this case it is defined as a wrestler who was a hero to many kids could tragically lose a hero of theirs today. Don't judge a persons character by what they do wrong, judge it off of what they do right. We're all sinners, but how do we make up for it?

It's wrong to say that it was all his fault etc. - you're just basing your opinion on questionable facts you read on the internet, you don't know the man.

I know this sounds stupid, but I think there may be some kind of weird curse going on. Whenever I am asleep during the afternoon/evening or haven't been on the PC nearly all day, something big happens.
A death, a release, a signing. It just always seems to happen.

I am going to miss Eddie. He was an incredible performer and just like most of his family, an incredible wrestler! Such a shame to see him pass.

I still think it's terrible, and in my eye, tragic.

Well, it is tragic when someone aged 36 passes away, no matter if it is from drugs or not. People who smoke and die of lung cancer are also "at fault."

Not trying to be an @#$%, and I honestly hope he pulls through but I just find it odd how many people think "praying" does anything.

I'm not going to believe it until WWE.com or someone related to Umaga confirms it.

It's amazing how some people come in here and can't keep their thoughts to themselves in such a sad time. Drugs or not, this is a guy I loved watching and I would be devestated if he passed away.

Tragic is when a baby is born with a terminal disease. Tragic is when a child dies young. Tragic is when a family passes away at night due to carbon monoxide poisoning. It is not tragic when a grown millionaire with a family refuses to get help for his drug addiction and as a result dies of a drug overdose. QFT Honestly, it's too soon to really be debating who's at fault, but if it is drug related, the help was offered and as far as we've been informed, he refused help. Let's see: - A well documented history of drug abuse. - Refused rehabilitation. - Found passed out and not breathing with blood coming out of his nose. Sounds like a overdose to me. Which is totally his fault.
