The 34-year-old bodybuilder was also an actor who appeared with Big Boi in the 2007 film 'Who's Your Caddy', and a professional wrestler who was a member of the World Championship Wrestling Organisation.

Tatum's wrestling reportedly caused severe back problems that left him dependent on painkillers, according to Allhiphop.com. His father, Roy Tatum, said his son was preparing to enter a rehab facility.

A full toxicology report has been ordered by the Fulton County Medical Examiner, which should reveal the cause of Tatum's death within six to eight weeks.
