Very sad that he has died, and I feel terrible for his family but I do agree that he was offered help and as far as we know refused it. He's paid the ultimate price which is a shame as he was a really talented big man. Hopefully these guys will now WAKE THE UP about this, take the help and get off of it. RIP Umaga

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. QFT.

There is not set rules on what Tragic can mean. Addiction is something that takes over a person and makes them unable to stop.
If he was addicted to drugs then he wouldnt be able to just stop himself as easily as some of you seem to think. Sadly tragic events like this do happen because sometimes people just cant be saved from addiction and in the end it cost him his life.

This was certainly not what I was expecting when I checked the net today. It's a terrible shame that this happened.

Judging by wrestlers tweets.. It seemed like he was an extremely friendly and well liked guy.

What I can't believe is how in the world other wrestlers like Mae Young, Chief Jay Strongbow, Bruno Sammartino, Abdullah the Butcher, "Superstar" Billy Graham and especially Jake "The Snake" Roberts have outlived these younger guys not just by years, but MANY, MANY years.
I mean, after everything Jake "The Snake" Roberts has been through and after all the drugs and stuff he has taken through the years, somehow he has outlived MUCH younger guys like Eddie Guerrero, Crash Holly, Test, Ravishing Rick Rude, Louie Spiccoli, Chris Candido, The Big Boss Man, Mr. Perfect, and now Umaga who only got to live to age 36.
How is it these old-timers are still kicking and these much younger guys keep dying at such early ages? I guess the older wrestlers take much better care of themselves is what it boils down to. But, Jake "The Snake" though??....He should've been gone years and years ago, but he's still here, thank God.
I just find it so stupid and meaningless when a wrestler dies that young...36...Man....

I often wonder how Scott Hall and Jake Roberts have managed to outlive so many of their peers.

One of the most talented big man in the last decade. Great man to watch. Incredible feuds with Jeff Hardy and John Cena. You will be missed.

I haven't been around the internet for a day or two, so I had no idea of this. This is very surprising. RIP Fatu.
