The professional wresling world continues to battle with its deserved image of having significant drug problems, as another wrestler has fallen, with Chase Tatum dying at the young age of 34.
Tatum used to wrestle under the World Championship Wrestling organization, which has been out of business for some time.
For Tatum, at this time his death looks like it came from an accidental drug overdose. Tatum had been fighting addiction to painkillers for some time his father said, and was looking at going to a rehabilitation center to combat it.
"He was in the process of getting his life back together," Roy Tatum said Monday. "He was confident he was going to turn things around, to live a normal life again without those painkillers."
The pain problems came from his short stint in pro wrestling, which lasted about two-and-a-half years. When he left, he evidently developed major back problems, which were the reason he started on painkillers.
