Title: Dan Puckett dead at 22 - 2006 NPC Teen/Coll Nat HW winner

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. A national bodybuilding champion who was a student at the University of Alabama was found dead Wednesday morning by his roommate.

Dan Puckett, 22, was a senior at Alabama and would have graduated in December. Capt. Loyd Baker, commander of the Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit, said Puckett's roommate found him dead in the bathroom of their apartment.

Puckett's roommate last saw him about 1 p.m. Tuesday. He had complained of a possible muscle injury after returning home from the gym.

"The roommate left and returned at 7 a.m. He couldn't get an answer at the door and got a call that no one had heard from him since Tuesday afternoon," Baker told The Tuscaloosa News. "When he got no response, he forced his way in and found him on the bathroom floor."

Baker said there were no visible signs of trauma or any suggestion of foul play. An autopsy was scheduled for Thursday. But it could take weeks for toxicology results to be returned for a final determination.

Puckett was from Muscle Shoals. He was studying marketing at Alabama's School of Commerce and Business Administration. He was the heavyweight winner of the 2006 NPC Teenage/Collegiate National Bodybuilding contest held in Pittsburgh.

I have a feeling this might be a big bodybuilding story.  22 years old is VERY young, even for something as risky as bodybuilding.

Regardless of the autopsy results, no teenager should be taking that amount of gear. Just look at the kid's face and jawline. He is gh-ed and juiced to the gills. Curious to see if this gets major media attention.

But it's a shame, especially for his parents.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC-TV MyFoxAL.com)  --  A national bodybuilding champion who was a student at the University of Alabama was found dead this morning by his roommate.

Dan Puckett was a 22-year-old senior at Alabama and would have graduated in December. Captain Loyd Baker is the commander of the Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit. He said Puckett's roommate found him dead in the bathroom of their apartment.

Given his age, it would surprise me if this was a bodybuilding related death.  Unless he went into insulin shock or was using diuretics at the time of his death.

Dan’s MySpace blurb says that he would like to meet God. God’s Word tells us that we all will someday...

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment... - Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. – Revelation 20:12 (KJV)

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. – Matthew 12:36 (KJV)

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested... - Mark 4:22(a) (KJV)

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. – Galatians 6:7,8 (KJV)

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. – Revelation 20:15 (KJV)

Dan professed to be a Christian. I did not know him. God knows him and God knows you. Are you ready for when your day comes? Seriously…no one knows when they are going to die or when Jesus Christ is going to return…if it were to happen in the next second, would you be ready?

But of that day and hour knoweth no man... - Matthew 24:36 (a)(KJV)

Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. – Matthew 24:44 (KJV)

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
- Proverbs 3:11,12 (KJV)

The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strength.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

If I had down syndrome, would you debate with me?

I feel the same way debating with you.  You have a disease.  I simply cannot change that and it makes "debate" with you completely futile.

"Like computer viruses, successful mind viruses will tend to be hard for their victims to detect. If you are the victim of one, the chances are that you won't know it, and may even vigorously deny it."
Richard Dawkins

"The patient typically finds himself impelled by some deep, inner conviction that something is true, or right, or virtuous: a conviction that doesn't seem to owe anything to evidence or reason, but which, nevertheless, he feels as totally compelling and convincing. We doctors refer to such a belief as 'faith'."
Richard Dawkins

"Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence."

Does anyone know what all this scripture means, the book doesn't contain words commonly used today in the English vocabulary.  God botherers annoy me, they are always defensive and childish and believe that they are right and everybody elses beliefs are wrong.  God is a figment of peoples imagination, no more no less.  God believers always remind me of small children who believe in the tooth fairy, making up imaginary concepts like heaven and hell and saying things like "serving the lord".  What Lord! you just made up an imaginary character in your head and now you say you are serving his will.  What bullshit!  if my child came to me and said he was serving the will of an imaginary character, I would take him to the doctors, but for some reason, society tolerates this behaviour in grown adults.  A kid died, thats it.  Why crap on about God and scripture, like that will help anybody.

Peace

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. - Luke 18:16,17 (KJV)

Calm down, chief.

I never knew this kid. Never met this kid. Never seen this kid. People die everyday and he's just another one on the list, yet everyone is saying, RIP this, and RIP that, just because he's a young 'bodybuilder'.  ::)

If you didn't know him, get over it.

Yeah, it's strange. Around 1000 children in Africa were starving past week, nobody opens threads for them. I wonder why??  ???

Well, it IS practised in many African countries.  Yes, they DO create their own misery.  They vote in their own choice of leaders who then inflict their own hell-on-earth for their own personal greed.

Do a search on my leader, President Mugabe of Zimbabwe.

See what I mean, who uses the words "verily" and "forgive them not" and "come unto me", you need to let go of the past, accept that you are alone in this world and stop living in make believe land.  God wont hate you if you decide to grow up and let go of his apron strings.  God will be grateful, that he doesn't have a whiny, deluded adult-child quoting bullshit scripture in his name.  Why don't you just say what you think, not the words written by someone from thousands of years ago, do you not have a mind of your own.  If their is a god, I doubt he is so insecure and immature to care wether or not I believe in him.  I imagine a god to have infinite powers, not juvenile human emotions like anger, wrath and revenge.  i am sure God has enough "Power" to rise above all that.

Regardless of the autopsy results, no teenager should be taking that amount of gear. Just look at the kid's face and jawline. He is gh-ed and juiced to the gills. Curious to see if this gets major media attention.

But it's a shame, especially for his parents.

Buddy, you haven't seen the gear requirements for a LEVEL 1 local (city/town) show these days.. these guys are coming in juiced to the TITS.. Just to place top 5 at a local show let alone nationals...

im sure he had some pre-exisiting condition, or a history of health problems in his family.  No way a 22 year old just dies from ''bodybuilding'' related causes.  It was most likely a combination of the two.

I should be able to use it with my black "homies" without repercution ... but unfortunately I have the wrong skin color (white) as an Afro-American.

This is something that your modern American culture has allowed to cultivate in the last few decades.  Blacks in this wonderful country can never be racist...  nor can they be wrong.

It's reverse racism at it's finest.

For where is she so fair whose unear'd womb
Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?
Or who is he so fond will be the tomb
Of his self-love, to stop posterity?
Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime:

Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time.

Facts are, the guy was 22 yo and heavy lifting is NOT healthy no matter how you want to cut it. Look at this picture below. This is a joke. Yeah, go ahead and fool yourselves that bodybuilding is so healthy and heavy lifting is not going to contribute to YOUR death.

I've done squats with 500 lbs. and blood shot through my nose all over the mirror. Then a couple of months later I am cleaned up and in shape for a photoshoot as if that had never happened.

Insulin + Steriods + pushing your body past the homeostasis + picture below of blood shot eyes and veins popping out of temple = early death.

Probably both. Dying from gear at such a young age would be rare, but if you did have a hereditary heart condition or something, it might just be enough to kill you. You never know though, the kid could have had a substance abuse problem or just a condition that caused his death. We'll find out soon enough what was the real cause, and for bodybuildings sake, i hope it isn't to do with gear. Either way, very sad.

I wasn't given a choice on whether or not I wanted to come to this shitty world. Were you?

Let me get this straight, "god" is all powerful, and can see that future.....so he creates us, knowing we would disappoint him, and puts us on earth, while allowing "the devil" to have free reign.....and we're at fault for being a part of this shit?

That's like me locking my kids up in a candy store over a weekend, and telling them not have any fucking candy, and if they do, I'll fucking kill them (or punish them for eternity).  ::)

I've done squats with 500 lbs. and blood shot through my nose all over the mirror. Then a couple of months later I am cleaned up and in shape for a photoshoot as if that had never happened.

Insulin + Steriods + pushing your body past the homeostasis + picture below of blood shot eyes and veins popping out of temple = early death.

I've gone up to 550 for 11 reps on squats and over 600 for similar reps on deads. I agree that it is not good for you i definately did not like how i felt after doing those lifts. I remember my leg cramping up the night after i deadlifted 615 for 11 and that was the last time i did anything like that. I was getting burst blood vessels on my face after every session.

But you do not have to train that way for muscular growth. I can get at least a good response if not better going 60-70% of those weights and doing it slower. You feel better and look better than the average person and will help you live longer. You are only commenting on the extremes of bodybuilding you are not talking about benefits it gives such as self-discipline that goes along with it or not being sick like a normal human etc.

Any death is a tragedy but this is a sport of extremes and attracts extreme personality's. Not many people can walk into a gym and squat over 500 for reps physically or mentally and unfortunately you arn't going to do that and then go and lead a perfectly happy and normal life like the rest of the sheep out there. You're going to want 510 pounds then 520. That's what bodybuilding teaches you but some only want to focus on the negatives. Not everyone wants to look normal and live a normal life in a deadend job living only for their kids. The brightest candles burn the fastest.

Seriously........ ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D 500 pounds? 500 pounds? Unless you were dong sets of 20 reps... ;D ;D ;D ;D

Be Nice Tommy !! lol :)

Just_a_pilgrim- Awesome post. I agree with about everything you've said. Sounds like you've felt the same shit I've felt before. I still remember getting done with workouts and on the drive home thinking, "HOW THE FUCK DID I DO THAT TODAY", yet managing to top it every week. BTW, those are some crazy lifts.

Regardless of the autopsy results, no teenager should be taking that amount of gear. Just look at the kid's face and jawline. He is gh-ed and juiced to the gills. Curious to see if this gets major media attention.

But it's a shame, especially for his parents.

the poor roomate who has to live with the nightmare of discovering a dead, cold stiff body in his dorm room.

That was nice of this bodybuilder guy to risk his life without thinking how it will affect others.

I had a very close friend years back, but he got very addicted to drugs. He lost all his friends,  I tried to help but decided I didnt want to be the one who finds him stiff in his apt one day. That would fuck me up. So I stopped hanging out with him.  Drug users can be very selfish.

Not "can be", they all are.

Well, he was only a student and very young. How many guys do you know that juice who have a family?

Well on a side note, in HS I was at my freinds house and we discovered a body of some dude who shot himself in the head in the back yard behind my freinds house. Most gross thing I have seen to date. After a while you forget what it looked like.

Still I dont envy him having to live with that memory the rest of his life.

it's quite a burden to be honest, i found my best friend dead in his apartment from a xanax overdose when i was 20. it's not something i wish on any person, it can really burn on you if you let it. i still think about it but it doesn't haunt me like it did the first year it happen. i actually carried him downstairs until the paramedics arrived, he had just gone unconcious when i got there.

this Dan kid might have died from an Insulin related problem if it had anything to do with hormones. he also might have had an existing condition that got worse from using AAS and stimulants. you can tell by his face in his myspace pics that his blood pressure was probably out of whack, he looked horrible. not a single picture on his myspace makes him look healthy, i'd say he was pushing the limit but this is just my opinion.

it could be a number of things, i had a friend die of a heart attack at 21 and he didn't do any drugs. just his time.

of course not, i was trying to help him.

we grew up together and went different ways after high school. i was trying to help him get off the drugs. it's a long story but he was addicted to meth and then xanax. he would do meth and then take xanax to sleep because the meth would keep him awake. since he wouldn't get professional help i tried to do what i could. i got him off meth but i couldn't get him to stop the xanax, he was in bad shape.

usa as of 2007 is posioned with narcotics,,your kids are on everything,,lifters this age do bodybuilding not because of love of lifting weights but because of insecuritues and the need to impress females which in usa are 99% of the times poor whores but the male kids do not get it and want pussy via fast muscle gains

now,,his death has nothing to do with steroids or insulin or anything even remotely close to sport related hormones,,his death most likley is either as a result of cocktail of drugs meth cocaine x and the such and or health problems that were never followed upon and thus shouldnt do bodybuild to begin with

20 year old do not fall 6 feet under easy 30 year old neither,,it is in 99% of cases a result of narcotics abuse and or pain killer addiction in addition to wild life style

inorder to understand what i wrote above you need to first acknoledge within yourself that every one in usa that touches weights seriously does or did hormones,,you have on a regular basis guys who take loads of gear and are healthy as bulls but they also keep healthy life styles and are healthy to begin with,,those things should not be ignored

again it all comes back to the fact that majority of kids in usa are considering aas just as another drug in addition to their coctail of narcotics,,i see plenty of times in my visists to the usa guys that i can pinpoint to them cutting on meth and weed ,,those guys are usually the "strongest" guys in the gyms ..they also fall the fastest and are never truly strong or truly hold any muscle,,they are like bubble ready to explode

i support everything the usa goverment does to you drug wize because they are practically saving your life,,you are going nuts over there now days ,,i dont knwo if it is the need to find girls to like and want you or maybe just insecurities of life but the drugs situation in usa is very very severe last 3 years

Spot on gh15. I noticed people are going nuts on drugs these days. I have a few friends that I've quit associating with because they went from smoking weed to smoking oxycontin because weed doesn't get them high enough anymore. And the meth... well i've never personally seen it, but when I went to jail I was the odd ball that had never done it. Literally 6 out of 10 were in there for drug related charges and almost always meth. One guy I met in there was caught with 9 pounds of meth. No shit.. It's crazy what's going on in some places.

I just a revised obit on Dan and he had a heart defect that they just discovered this year.  He was supposed to have 2 surgeries to correct the condition.  Unfortunately he died before the second procedure could be done.  They think his death could have been a result of the first procedure. 

I don't post on here, I usually just lurk.  I can't keep quiet on something like this though.  All the hateful things people say and the jokes.  Coming from someone who has lost loved ones in the past I have to say it hurts when people speculate and gossip. My brother was only 16 when he died in a car accident in the 70's.  People said he was a party and drinking.  One of his closest friends came to me at the funeral home and said "don't listen to the rumors. I was there and I can tell you he was not drinking".  He went there to get a friend, who was drunk, and take him home so he would drive drunk.  My brother paid the price.

Please be respectful of the family and friends of Dan Puckett.

gh15 is spot on. I am 28, i have a lot of friends that have done hard drugs for years. Sometimes they go on holidays for 4-5 days and just hammer themselves. Generally though at least once a week if not twice, coke or E or who knows mixed with alcohol etc. You can see some of them have aged very fast. These arn't guys who train either.

I'm not one to knock it, it's their life, but it can't be doing them any good when you abuse it over and over. I just don't get the point of it.

gh15 is an expert in his related field...much like 240 or Bust is an expert in web design and Milos is an expert trainer.

That said, he is wrong about prohibition helping anyone.  Prohibition is not meant to be helpful.  Sure there are some moral crusaders who naively believe that it does prevent the flow of drugs, but by and large it does nothing more than give an artificially inflated value to products (drugs) which have no inherent value and add to an estimated over one trillion dollar a year economy.

Former Prime Minister of Canada Paul Martin's family boat was found with 83 kilograms of cocaine and no charges were laid.  The RCMP instead chose to "question" everyone on the boat.  Isn't the normal procedure to press charges and then determine in court whether or not the individual is guilty or not?

The golden rule = the one with the gold makes the rules.  The nonsense war on drugs is nothing more than a political scheme which allows the same politicians who lobby to make drugs illegal also benefit from these drug laws since they can't get charged with drug crimes anyway.  Also, it is a great way to imprison black people who did nothing other than smoke a joint - next thing you know, they have five breaches all stemming from one charge which should never have existed to begin with.  A wonderful way to make a criminal out of a person who never hurt anyone.  Also, great fodder for a multi-billion dollar a year prison system which is big business in the USA.  The drug war is rooted in politics and racism, NOT in protectionism.  gh15 is entitled to his opinion of course.

Also, gh15 is basically a confessed drug addict (no disrespect intended) - did prohibition stop him from using/abusing drugs?  No.  So why is it that he seems to think prohibition prevents other people from using even more highly addictive drugs?

Squad, Don't tell me you are that dumb to see this shit.

Facts are, the guy was 22 yo and heavy lifting is NOT healthy no matter how you want to cut it. Look at this picture below. This is a joke. Yeah, go ahead and fool yourselves that bodybuilding is so healthy and heavy lifting is not going to contribute to YOUR death.

I've done squats with 500 lbs. and blood shot through my nose all over the mirror. Then a couple of months later I am cleaned up and in shape for a photoshoot as if that had never happened.

Insulin + Steriods + pushing your body past the homeostasis + picture below of blood shot eyes and veins popping out of temple = early death.


Hey Jack ass, and all of you people who are pointing the finger at this young man.  Some people just die, remember a few months ago when those professional soccer players in their early 20's dropping dead, those young men in basketball who colapse on the court and die.  They didn't use anabolics.  This happens, death happens, it just so happens he was a bodybuilder.  All of you get over your jelousy and hatred for these people with better bodies than you and ones who use gear. It should not affect you.  Get a life and get over it.  Let this young man rest in peace.

This is my first and last post on this forum.

Some of you are a disgrace to the bodybuilding community.
Obviously you have never experienced personal tragedy or you just don't give a fuck about people who have.
I knew this young man personally. He was a good kid who had class, unlike some of you.
I found this thread while looking for articles concerning this event. What happens when one of his family members reads some of your classless replies.
I hope you never experience a tragic event. I doubt you could handle it.
