Wrestling author and journalist, Irv Muchnick is reporting that Eddie "Umaga" Fatu died from "acute toxicity due to combined effects of hydrocodone, carisoprodol, and diazepam."
Hydrocone: is a painkiller
Carisoprodol: Commonly called soma, is a muscle relaxer
Diazepam: Commonly called Valium, is an anti-anxiety medication
Fatu died on December 4th, 2009, shortly after being released by the WWE for failing his second drug test and refusing rehab. His death was not mentioned on WWE television.

Whether your kidding or not, that's highly insensitive. Now, I'm either guessing he purposely OD'd or he was just feeling stressed and sore and needed some medication

Umaga was a Samoan, how would he know how to use prescription drugs? I bet someone was drugging him, he wouldn't have known how to use them on his own.

@10, you are an irredeemable idiot. Please improve the human gene pool by removing yourself from it at your earliest convenience.

I explained here once that even though I am Irish, I'm not as white as Seamus because I'm not ginger, and the next comment was that I'm probably as white as him but just don't know it. And that person wasn't even trying to be funny, it was the stupidest thing I ever read in my life until comment 10. As for the other comments who think they are funny, I didn't laugh, not a little bit, not at all. I miss Umaga, I thought he was good, and I'm sure he'd have got a TNA gig easily. I liked Estrada too, but WWE brings guys in give them a tiny push, and let them go way too soon. They're just not up to the high wrestling standards of Cena, the comedy value of Orton and great talkers like Batista.

I am prescribed hydrocodone 15mg. I couldn't imagine mixing it with Soma, much less Soma and Valium.

I must say working in the medical field, you should know "how to mix" the medications BEFORE you do it..
Also, I find it funny that when you have a genuine comment you put your name and when you are putting someone down or being a stupid ass you don't put it.
