WWE wrestling star Umaga has died in a Texas hospital.
The 36-year-old American Samoa-born wrestler, whose real name is Eddie Fatu, was found at home by his wife, unable to breath and bleeding from the nose, various websites have reported.
On its website, the WWE expressed its "deepest condolences to Mr. Fatu's family, friends and fans on his tragic passing".
Fatu was a member of the Anoa'i wrestling family. He was the cousin of wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, and also believed to be related to boxer David Tua.
Fatu left WWE in June of this year.
He had just finished working the Hulkamania tour in Australia in the last week.
He had left the company after a second violation of WWE's Wellness Policy and when refusing to enter drug rehabilitation.

"Love me or hate me it's one or the other. Always has been. Hate my game, hate my swagger, hate my fade-away, my hunger, hate that i'm a veteran, A champion, hate that. Hate it with all your heart, and hate that i'm loved for the exact same reasons."
