A teenage bodybuilder who wanted to become the new Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson died instantly when an artery burst in his chest, an inquest heard.

Andrej Gajdos, 19, collapsed outside a Tesco supermarket in his home town of  Weston-super-Mare when his thoracic aorta ruptured.

The Slovakian born teenager had worked out twice a day and used steroids to grow his enormous 7ft 2ins frame to 19 stone of lean muscle.

‘He was loved and known by many people, each with their own story to tell,’ his family wrote on a fundraising page that raised £4,000 to pay for his burial.

‘Andrej was a very keen bodybuilder with aspirations to become the new Rock… he will never reach that height now.’

Gajdos’ drug abuse contributed to his enlarged heart – which was 50 per cent bigger than average.

Four different types of steroid were found at the apprentice programmer’s flat in Somerset and he had traces of the drug along with testosterone in his system.

‘Andrej’s heart weighed 680g, and a normal heart is between 400 and 500g. He wasn’t a normal man,’ Dr John Oxley, the consultant who carried out Andrej’s post-mortem, told Avon Coroner’s Court.

He added: ‘Steroids would have enlarged his heart, and having a big heart predisposes thoracic rupture.’

Dr Oxley said he could not be sure if Gajdos’ steroid use had been the direct cause of his death, or why he had such large organs.

The teenager had previously been diagnosed with lung problems including bronchiectasis and the inquest heard his GP also suspected he suffered with acromegaly, a disorder caused by excess production of growth hormones.

Recording a narrative verdict assistant coroner Dr Peter Harrowing said: ‘Such a tear is a very rare event, and the most likely cause is genetic. But I cannot record a verdict of natural causes.’

7'2" and only 19 stone (266lbs)?

Sucks for him but this was clearly a genetic predisposition and freaky height issuee exacerbated by juice.

"Such a tear is a very rare event, and the most likely cause is genetic."

Exactly. Dude was over 7 feet tall. Not super heavy but still, guys of that height often have heart problems among other things. Just saying. I have a friend who is over 7 feet tall, and he is crippled with weird medical issues.

Dude would have always had a hard time filling out such a large frame even if he mega dosed.
The heart problem was almost certainly genetic. I'm not convinced steroids would have played any role other than possibly ending his life a year or two sooner than normal.

RIP.

My thoughts exactly. I'm sure that using steroids can be dangerous over long periods of times (decades), but no way steroids played a major role in this case.

So your saying Steroids were just the finishing touch?

I love this place.

Famous BB dies or is seriously ill = everyone here takes the piss out of the claimed 'genetic predisposition' (because they don't relate personally to the mega doses, so there is not real fear of it happening to them)

Gym rat dies = everyone on getbig swears blind it wasn't the gear and must be a genetic predisposition (because it hits very very close to home).

I think with a pro, you're looking at someone who would have abused heavy amounts of drugs for years on end so the drugs are bound to have been a factor in their deaths.
In this kid's case, he was probably on light cycles judging by his build and it's unlikely that he was juicing for anymore than just a few years due to his age. Add that to the fact he was naturally "freakish" and you have to agree that his death was almost certainly down to genetic issues.

It's a shame that the poor kid died. Usually when some boy wants to be the next "Rock", it's just teen delusions. But this kid actually could have become somewhat famous in Hollywood due to the freak factor he had. If not Hollywood, possibly a career in the WWE.

If he really was the height they claim he was, you would be much more impressed with him in person. Not easy to even get close to filling a frame like that out.

Yes, yes indeed. Like for example, most of athletes, basketball players etc., most of the soccer players and american football players. They are all sick because their internal organs being TOO FAR APART. Of course they are, if you say so..Sorry sir, but it seem to me that your elevator doesn't go up to the top floor, sir  ;D

Tall guys die a lot younger because their hearts can't take pumping so much blood around their body. Steroids enlarge the heart. Therefore, this guy is an idiot.
