Two heart attacks. One while he was asleep and one after removal of life support.

The 2nd one did him in.

It really is a sad story. For such a big guy, such great agility. It really was amazing to see him perform.

yeah part of the famous samoan family bloodline brother, the following is an extract from his Wikipedia profile about his family:

Fatu was born in American Samoa, a member of the famous Anoa'i wrestling family. His mother, Vera, was the sister of Afa and Sika of the Wild Samoans, and his later Umaga gimmick would be compared to their "wildness".[6] His two older brothers, Sam (better known as Tonga Kid and Tama) and Solofa Jr. (better known as Rikishi), are also professional wrestlers who have achieved success of their own.[4] Dwayne Johnson, known in wrestling as The Rock, is his cousin.

sidenote: Umaga just successfully completed the Hulkamania tour here in Australia, and worked his last match with Mr. Kennedy. Kennedy also worked Eddie Guerrero's last match too!! sad.gif sad.gif

edit - Mr Kennedy's twitter is http://twitter.com/secondpower if anyone's interested. He has some comments regarding Umaga's passing ...
