Unfortunate and sad news to pass along today - another member of the wrestling community has passed away. Edward Fatu, better known as WWE superstar Umaga, passed away today after being taken to a hospital in Houston. According to the details we know so far, his wife found him after he fell asleep last night watching television, and noticed he had trouble breathing and there was blood coming out of his nose. Apparently his condition took a drastic turn for the worse once he arrived and the doctors were unable to revive him. At some point family and relatives were alerted to get to Houston as fast as possible, and earlier this afternoon he was taken off life support. On behalf of his many fans around the world, including right here at AngryMarks.com, I would like to express my heartfelt grief at his passing and offer my condolences to the extended Fatu & Anoa'i families at this difficult time. R.I.P. Umaga.

First reporting the story at 3:15 PM EST - EWN, W-R and Bobby Lashley. This article has been updated several times since then. Wrestling Observer confirms he was taken off life support. Additional confirmation provided by the Houston Examiner.
