The 36-year-old star was found dead in December, six months after being fired by WWE for refusing rehab after failing a drugs test. Forensic Toxicology examination found Umaga was killed by a heart attack brought on by a toxic cocktail of drugs, it was revealed today.
Chief forensic investigator Dan Morgan said "The cause of death is acute toxicity due to combined effects of hydrocodone, carisoprodol and diazepam."
Carisoprodol is better known as the muscle relaxer Soma, Diazepam is more commonly called Valium and Hydrocone is a painkiller. All three substances have been prevalent in other wrestling tragedies over the past 3 years and has once again cast controversy over the illegal use of drugs in professional wrestling.
