That is well said. You are completley right. However, The point I just want to get across is that while people should be sympathetic no matter the cause of death, people should also pay attention to WHY they died, so that they can learn from the other person's mistakes and not follow the same path. That's not the way learning works. People do not learn from the mistakes of others, but the mistakes they make themselves. I mean, look at Shawn Michaels. He learned from his own mistakes and found God. His faith and family, together, got him off the pills and back in the ring. No people learn from others. When you grow up, you learn how to talk, walk, and eat from others. You learn everything, from the actions of others. In school, you learn because the teacher shows you. It just comes down to if you understand and accept it. I do not smoke because I realized the effects it has on my parents, so I learned from them that it's a bad habit. You CAN learn from yourself, but to say you dont learn from others is ignorant. Shall we add you to the ass-hole statistic? No. But you can add me to the "Brutally Honest" statistic (its a very small statistic.)

Did not expect this, but it is hard for a body to sustain itself when it is that...well, large. Good wrestler though, especially for his size. RIP Edward Fatu.

RIP Edward Fatu. ...again, if it was a drug problem that played the biggest roll in his death, his size has little to do with it. Skinny people have heart attacks too, drugs and heart attacks don't discriminate.

What kind of drugs was Umaga on? I read that WWE offered to send him to Rehab but he denied so WWE fired him. Was it painkillers?

Of course the drugs are the main reason but, his weight sure as hell didn't help.

Umaga was one hell of an athlete for a man of his size and he will be truly missed. So young as well. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

RIP Eddie Fatu. You were a bulldozer and an underappreciated wrestler. And a freaking idiot that went brain-dead 6 months before his death when he refused to get help and selfishly allowed himself to be fired so he can continue to abuse drugs and ensure that his young children grow up without a father.

This is absolutely terrible news. It's so sad to see him go, especially at such a young age. He truely was a fantastic worker, and really was underrated. He had some awesome matches with guys like Cena and Hardy. You will be missed, Eddie Fatu. RIP Eddie 'Umaga' Fatu.

I just re-watched one of my favorite Umaga matches. It was from Vengeance 2006 and he was wrestling against Eugene. Eugene brought out "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Doink the Clown (played by Steve "Brooklyn Brawler" Lombardi) and "The Ugandan Giant" Kamala for some back-up. They didn't help much because it was a short night for Eugene and Umaga disposed of him in short fashion.
If you would've told me then that Umaga would be dead 3 years later, I would've thought you were nuts. But unfortunately, that's the way it played out.
He really should have been either The World Heavyweight champion or WWE champion, even for a short reign. Just to cement him as the unstoppable "Samoan Bulldozer". I mean, even Khali was the World champ and he friggin' sucked as a wrestler. Umaga was 100x better than Khali ever was or will be.
Umaga will be greatly missed....

Selfishly allowed himself? You make it like getting off drugs is so easy and everybody who start can get right off when they choose. It's not that easy buddy. I doubt he said to himself "you know, WWE wants to give me rehab, but I think instead I'll take drugs and die in about 6 months"

Whenever you abuse a substance you run the risk is dying because of it. Umaga was overweight, on anabolic steroids, and HGH all of those things are not exactly heart healthy, add to that his drug dependence and it's only a matter of time before he ended up dead. Call me a jerk but it makes me sick that people are mourning this idiot that could not be man enough to be a man and put his family and his health first.
