WWE issued an announcement regarding Fatu’s passing earlier this evening. We’ve posted that here on the website.
I received an email from a top TNA talent earlier today which brought up an interesting point. My source noted: No one has mentioned the (economy class syndrome) that causes blood clots on long flights, and there is no longer flight than Australia.
There are many people within the industry that are very upset about the passing. Although Fatu has had past issues with drugs, everyone I’ve talked to today is saying that he was a fun-loving guy with a great sense of humor who you loved being around.
I hope we’ve done an OK job of covering this story today. We’re getting everything confirmed before we post it due to the sensitive nature of this story. There is never anything good that comes out of covering a death and it sucks to have to report on them to be honest. Thanks for your continued support of the website and hopefully our coverage has been OK for you all. It’s been a crazy day in the office.
On behalf of everyone on the site, we want to send our deepest condolences to Eddie Fatu’s friends and family.
Confirming an earlier report, Jim Ross noted in a blog post on his official website that Edward “Eddie” Fatu (a.k.a. “Umaga”) has indeed been removed from life support.
“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 just returned from a tour overseas where he reportedly was, “seemingly, healthy and doing well.”
