Former WWE star "The Samoan Bulldozer" Umaga (real name Eddie Fatu) has died after suffering a heart attack. His wife found Fatu unconscious with blood coming from his nose and was rushed and treated at a Houston medical center. He is 36 years-old.

WWE's statement: "WWE would like to express its deepest condolences to Mr. Fatu’s family, friends and fans on his tragic passing. Mr. Fatu was under contract with WWE at various time periods and most recently performed under the name "Umaga." Mr. Fatu's contract was terminated on June 11, 2009."

He was released from WWE in June after failing a drug test and refusing the WWE's offer to attend drug rehab (Wellness Program).

So very young...
