Celebrity Deaths in 2009

[Kris_Roth]

Another professional wrestler has passed away. You may remember Umaga, the Samoan Bulldozer, with his facial tatoo paint and his devestating Samoan Spike finishing move. I just saw an article about Umaga. He is part of the family that included the Wild Samoans, Afa and Sika, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. His real name was Eddie Fatu.

Damn, yeah...he was only 36, too. Think he died of a heart attack or something like that, I believe? Not sure. Don't think the exact cause of death is known, yet.

Yes, "Umaga" aka Eddie Fatu, was released from WWE due to violating the WWE's Wellness policy this year. He was only 36 and he had a heart attack. Eddie Fatu is a cousin of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson" and is related to Afa and Sika of the Wild Samoans, and I think he is related to Rikishi. He was Jamal of Three Minute Warning, along with Rosey, who also was released from WWE for violating the wellness policy.

I remember Yokozuna died a while back, and he is relation to Rikishi and Umaga. Man, I can give you a list of all the Wrestlers and other people involved with professional wrestling. Chris Benoit killed himself after killing his wife and son in a steroid induced rage.
Other notable wrestlers who died in the past: Big Boss Man aka Ray Traylor, Owen Hart, Sherri Martel, Ravishing Rick Rude, Andre the Giant, Big John Studd, Dino Bravo, Earthquake (John Tenta), and Fabulous Moolah, and many of the von Erich family members. Lacey von Erich is over at Total Nonstop Action (TNA) and hangs out with the Beautiful People.

Brittany Murphy, star of such movies as "Clueless", and "Uptown Girl" has died at the age of 32, from an apparent cardiac arrest (translation, abuse of prescription drugs). There had been speculation Brittany Murphy had an eating disorder, as she looked really thin in a last interview she did for a movie she was planning to be in.

That proves to show you to say no to drugs and alchohol. I'm 34 and I have abstained from drugs and alchohol since my high school days, as I promised my dad and God I would abstain from drugs and alchohol.

*Praise*
THANK you. Thank you very, very much, Kris_Roth. You are my new favorite person. Substance abuse is NOT the way to go to forget your problems. It only creates more.

But - but - but ... my rum&eggnog is so gnummy!

[Kris_Roth]

Thanks, Haylie. I thank God every day that He has protected me from the dangers of alchohol and drugs. As Mr. Mackey from South Park says, "Drugs are bad, mmmkay.."

I also know Brittany Murphy also voiced Luann Platter from the cartoon King of the Hill. Luann is Peggy and Hank's niece, Bobby's cousin. She ended up marrying Lucky.

Casey Johnson, the heiress to the Johnson and Johnson company, has died of drug-related problems. Apparently, Tila Tequila was engaged to her. (EWWW). What's up with these young celebrities and drugs, anyway?

Let's see, the creator of the Pez dispenser, the last survivor of the Titanic disaster, and former pro Wrestler "Dr. Death" Steve Williams died all at the end of 2009.
