Chase Tatum used to wrestle for the now-defunct WCW. More recently, he appeared in the comedy “Who’s Your Caddy?” alongside rapper Big Boi of Outkast.
Chase Tatum had been recovering from back surgery to repair a degenerative disc. His father said the former wrestler had been fighting a dependence to painkillers for years but had been planning to enter a rehabilitation center.
An official said, “He was in the process of getting his life back together. He was confident he was going to turn things around, to live a normal life again without those painkillers”.
Chase Tatum's wrestling career was unplanned & short-lived. His brief wrestling career left him with severe back problems but without health insurance to pay for the surgery. It was painkillers that kept him going.
