Chase Tatum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chase Tatum was a former wrestler for the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling organization. At the age of 19, he won the Mr. Georgia bodybuilding competition. He then began a career as a personal trainer, which he continued until his death. Tatum's wrestling career lasted less than three years and left him with severe back problems and without health insurance to pay for surgery. As a result, he developed a dependence to painkillers. In 2007, Tatum appeared in the comedy film Who's Your Caddy? alongside rapper Big Boi of Outkast, for whom he also worked as a road manager and personal assistant. Tatum was found dead at his home in Atlanta, Georgia's Buckhead neighborhood after an apparent accidental drug overdose, on March 23, 2008. He was 34 years old.
