It was a joke, you moron.
More people, including the "average" population, as well as bodybuilders, probably know who Dean Koontz is. I doubt if most bodybuilders even know who Rod Koontz is. But I bet a lot know who Dean Koontz is. Hence, the joke. You're not the sharpest tool in the shed, huh? :-\ :-\

WORLD, WHY DO YOU THINK IT IS A WEIRD FACEBOOK PAGE?
Seriously though, Koontz was rumored by the west coast guys to be a bit off, much like Mentzer. Harmless, but a bit wacky.
I do like that whole "World" thing he did, it's the perfect set up for that type of rambling.

Who said I was making fun of his death? I was merely pointing out that more people know who Dean Koontz is, as opposed to Ron Koontz. Nowhere did I make fun of his death or wished death upon him. As stated, I was just merely pointing out the fact that one is more popular than the other. You're not sharpest tool in the shed, huh?

Lost his mind on drugs?
From what I've read, Schizophrenia or something close. Here is an old post that sorta sums up the whispers about him -
"Today Rod is completely delusional and homeless. He sleeps on the pourch of a church in Redondo Beach (lost his home and car) and sits in a chair in front of a Starbucks for 8 hours a day leering at people. He's gotten quite heavy (300 pounds) and is in horrible shape.
If you talk to him about bodybuilding he can still hold a decent conversation but then the delusion starts. Stories about the how family was murdered by the Russian Mafia who has millions of dollars of his in a secret trust that is controlled by George Bush and Arnold and how he is working with CIA and the FBI to bring the people involved to justice. Somewhere intertwined in all of it he says that Mike Mentzer was impersonating him (Rod) before his death in an attempt to get control of the trust and of the money that is rightfully his.
He goes on to say that he has already sold the book and movie rights to this true story (uhem) and that when he is paid for them he is going to get his teeth (horrible teeth) fixed.
He tells this story to anyone who will listen.
I walked away from Rod on Thursday night just sad. I don't know what got him to this point and I don't know that he can be helped. "

When I saw Koontz in the thread title, I thought to myself "The author?" and when I saw the bodybuilder photo, I assumed I got that wrong. I think most people familiar with the surname Koontz recognize it from scanning their eyeballs over the book section of places like Wal-Mart, where the books of Dean Koontz are in abundance. I agree that your average person would be familiar with Dean, but not Rod.
In any event, RIP Rod Koontz.

Died because his cells lost too much oxygen because he stopped breathing because he had no pulse because his heart stopped beating because he stopped breathing because he had no pulse because his cells lost too much oxygen

Maybe he was gored to death by a rabid goat.

It was me that wrote that post... it was copied and pasted from my post on another forum. I knew Rod back from Gold's Redondo Beach and because a friend of mine was once his training partner. In the last several years he really lost touch with reality.

He quit breathing...

RIP. Was always in the old Muscular Development mags when I started reading them.

Sad news....Rod was one of the first I saw in the bb mags. :'(
As a kid I used to find it funny that his name had "rod" and "koon" in it. ;)

It is super sad to read a post that begins "to all my dad's facebook friends..."
RIP Thee Animal.

Has there been any confirmation of his death? Now many days later, a search of the web shows only this thread on getbig, and other boards referencing getbig. Someone mention facebook, but I can't find anything there.

OK, I did find a mention on Flex

Holy crap! I didn't know you still were active on this board. But it was a lot more than several years ago that Rod lost it. I remember that post you wrote and that must have been at least six years ago. Dave Brown always spoke highly of Rod but would never talk about what happened to him. At least not to me.
The guy was a stud in his prime and women creamed at the sight of him. I saw him once walking near Prospect and Torrance Blvd. Just a shell of a man. I never knew what was the cause of his mental break down.

Original?
He may have stolen it from Tom Selleck. I haven't taken time to compare hairstyles from back then.
-
sad to read about his later years. life can be so unpredictable and fragile :'(
may you finally find your peace RK.
