In a month of musical mourning, former Outkast manager Chase Tatum has been found dead at his home in Atlanta, with an accidental drugs overdose the suspected cause.
As well as managing the hip-hop duo, the 34-year-old enjoyed a brief spell as a fighter in the World Championship Wrestling foundation.
His father has claimed that a long-term problem with painkillers is to blame for the demise of Chase, who was found on Sunday (23 Mar).
"He was confident he was going to turn things around, to live a normal life again without those painkillers,” his father told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Reading/Leeds 2008: Day Three report
So Fresh but Not So Clean
God, that was awful :(
Great headline.
Even if it did write itself
Another wrestler dies
I remember seeing something about the amount of wrestlers who've died prematurely in the last few years. Shocking stuff.
like chris benoit
what a fuckin nutbag!
errm
i dont think Hulk Hogan is dead... is he?!
my friend who's into wrestling
had never heard of him, I'm into Outkast and I'd never heard of him. Maybe that's why he was sad, an unfulfilled desire for recognition.
all he needed was for your friend to acknowledge him
and then he would be alive today still, how guilty must your friend be?
