As noted earlier today here on the website, Eddie “Umaga” Fatu has passed away.
Jim Ross noted in a blog post on his official website (JrsBarBQ.com) that Edward “Eddie” Fatu (a.k.a. “Umaga”) had been removed from life support earlier today. This was obviously written before his passing this evening: “I was informed by someone who has spoken to a Fatu family member that Eddie has been removed from life support and his condition is obviously grave,” Ross wrote. “Unfortunately, one can expect more bad news to be released imminently.”
Fatu was reportedly found unconscious with a bloody nose late last night by his wife. He had been watching TV prior to being found. He had just returned from the Hulkamania tour overseas where I’m told he was “seemingly, healthy and doing well.”
I learned this afternoon that members of his family were rushing to Houston to say their goodbyes before life support was turned off. I’m told he suffered a second heart attack earlier this afternoon while in the hospital. I’m told the first heart attack occurred late last night and a second occurred during the afternoon today while in the hospital.
On behalf of everyone on the site, we want to send our deepest condolences to Eddie Fatu’s friends and family. So sad.
