This is very sad and sorry for the loss. He was only 42. But I want to address (from a scientific standpoint), the major concern in the comments section about sudden cardiac deaths in "healthy-looking muscular/masculine" powerful body-builders. Please be informed that "looking like a beast" does not equate to being "healthy". The heart of an elite bodybuilder operates under a state of chronic, high demand that is fundamentally different from that of a healthy, non-athletic individual or even an endurance athlete. Cardiac death in a heavily muscled bodybuilder is the terminal outcome of a systemic failure. The strain of extreme muscle mass: the body itself becomes a burden on the heart. The heart gets thicker, but not healthier: just like lifting weights makes your biceps bigger, this constant strain makes the heart muscle thicker. This is called hypertrophy. But this isn't a good thing for the heart. The walls of the heart's main pumping chamber get thick and stiff. A stiff heart can't relax properly to fill with blood between beats. It becomes an inefficient pump. The damage from steroids: Anabolic steroids directly attack the heart and blood vessels causing heart muscle damage and scarring and worsening lipid profile that clogs arteries and steroids often cause the body to retain salt and water, increasing the volume of blood in your arteries and driving up blood pressure. The problem of thick blood: High testosterone levels (due to supplement use) can change the very nature of the blood, making it thick and dangerous (testosterone use can boost haemoglobin and red blood cells). This overproduction of red blood cells makes the blood physically thicker and more viscous, like trying to pump syrup through a straw instead of water. Most times, during exertion, thick blood reduces flow to heart and brain which can result in sudden fatal events. This is one reason why those on testosterone supplements are advised to check haemoglobin levels and remove blood to keep the blood thin for easy flow. Just to make sure you know, the cardiac events in young body builders like this man here is not due to whey protein, creatine or Covid vaccines given in 2019.
