Former WWE star Umaga hospitalized in life-threatening condition
Edward Fatu, 36, is hospitalized in Houston and in what was described as life threatening condition by a long-time friend. He was just removed from life support.
His family was told to come into town as quickly as possible. Family members have been told they believe he suffered a heart attack.
Details are sketchy at this point but he apparently fell asleep last night while watching television, and several hours later, his wife found him not breathing with blood coming out of his nose and he was rushed to the hospital.
Fatu, who lives in nearby Spring, TX, wrestled under a number of names including Ekmo, Jamal and most notably Umaga. He had just returned a few days ago from the Hulk Hogan tour of Australia.
He was released by WWE in June after failing a drug test and refusing the company's wishes to send him to rehab.

F4WOnline item has been updated with a line about his family being told to make their way to the hospital as quickly as possible. That doesn't sound too good.
EDIT: WWE has confirmed that Eddie Fatu has died
