Irv Muchnick breaks the news that Umaga died of acute toxicity due to the combined effects of hydrocodone, carisoprodol, and diazepam. In layman's terms, he died of a heart attack caused by taking together probably significant quantities of a prescription painkiller, a muscle relaxer and an anti anxiety drug. Unfortunately several other wrestlers have died young from a similar cocktail of drugs in recent years including Brian Adams, Sherri Martel and Andrew Martin, amongst others.
Dave Meltzer notes that despite his known drug problems both WWE and TNA were vying for his services at the time of his death. While Irv Muchnick ponders how it took so long for Umaga to fail a WWE Wellness drug test.
