Rich Piana had 20 bottles of steriods when he died.

Art Atwood
I find it sad any time a pro at who had a hot girlfriend passed away young. I just think of how much oral sex he could have given her.
I would say pros with kids. But which pros have kids? ???

Honestly not many, they know the business they are in.
It's the regular folks that always catch me -
Marianna Komlos was a very active, semi famous member here in the old days. I remember being sad when she passed -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianna_Komlos .
The one that caught me really bad was an older man named J V Askem, who was Jesse Marunde's coach for many years. He got sick while was writing a history of Olympic Lifting, and a few other things, and it was hard to watch him dying while trying to get things done -

Nope. Don Ross. So sad...
Loved the bodybuilding life for 25+ years. Gave everything he had to the world of bodybuilding. Loved the sport. Helped hundreds of people get in shape. Love nutrition, fitness and bodybuilding. After 25+ years he had almost nothing. Nothing...
...Then after being a featured writer and photographer for so many years he became the Editor & Chief for Muscular development. $70,000 per year. Company car. Expense account. Paid travel. After all those years of work and getting amost nothing- he did it! Six months later he had a massive heart attack and died.

Poor Don Ross.....a little too late for him :(
I remembered he loved eating raw beef......"why cook it, when you can just eat it raw?"
Ron will always be remembered <3

They used a kitchen ladle at the autopsy to remove his organs

Yeah , remember the gentleman.
How many posters here are veterans from the Old School Strength Training board? ;D

I remember on the Aussie bodybuilding boards some guys were laughing at Zyzz's death for some reason like he wasn't a BBer but then crying when Luke Wood died. Made no sense. Both used way too much shit, Zyzz like a lot of kids I see these days mixing everything together like Caps/Xanax/fuck knows what else, he was just doing Steroids on top.

Weight-training enthusiast and journalist Steve Neece collapsed in front of a store’s magazine rack and briefly pounded his own chest, screaming, “No! No! No!”
Good guy.

Bah. He was only several months older than me at the time - 37 is too young.

I’ve worked out with him many times and got to know him fairly well
But he was doing a lot of shady stuff and it caught up to him, rec drugs, X, coke, steroids, etc was dealer that snitched on others so he didn’t serve time

Sounds like Trigili. Lol

I can’t have any sympathy for guys drugged to the gills. If I had to pick, I’d say Mike Matarazzo because he seemed like a genuinely good guy and was scared at the end and not in denial about his lifestyle.

I suppose rec drugs combined with never being under 260-lb could do it.

Was Don Ross also a powerlifter, Tom?
Don and I were friend for many years. Don never competed in the sport of Powerlifting but was very close to many lifters and always took pride in being able to move a lot of weight for a bodybuilder. Don was an excellent athlete and understood the huge difference in bodybuilding and powerlifting and knew how each could compliment the other.
He was a huge fan of all bodybuilders, powerlifters, weight lifters, pro wrestlers, strongeman competitors. Just love the entire "iron game."
He came to see me in prison. Huge bonus points for that. 😀
If you placed 7th in a Bodybuilding show or won the overall he treated you the same.
Good man indeed.

Don did Keto before keto was cool. He ate huge quantities of red meat. Never saw him eat raw red meat, but saw him eat PLENTY of meat. It may certainly have accelerated his demise.

Excellent and absolutely correct. Don's Pro Wrestling name was Ripper Savage. Great shot of Don and Serge Nubret.

i'd say nasser because he was the only elite guy in the group, and matarazzo because he was likable

I never read anything negative about Matarazzo, I guess he was really a nice guy. One of my fav too since he was Italian

A true getbigger has to go to prison at least once, props 8)

Are people who die on Everest sadder or not as sad? I think the list is longer but not sure.

;D

TOMMY, I also knew Don while he was residing in Hawaii going through some difficut times.
Did my best to help him but he suddenly disappeared ad returned to the mainland.

Don Ross was great.....loved reading all of his training articles.

Saddest was Dallas because his bud Josh L. didn't know CPR. He can live with that his entire life.

Pffff….Dallas had serious problems previously and still kept going hard. He would have died in the next year or two if he hadn't of stopped taking all the drugs which lets face it he wasn't going to do. Hardly Josh L's fault. Porter Cotrell did know CPR and couldn't save Mohammad Benizza, can't blame the guy that lived.

Tommy was friends with his wife Rita on Facebook until I deleted it about a year and a half a go. She was a very cool lady. Talked about Don quite a bit.

Yes a combinatiin of the dangerous doctors and Josh L.'s ignorance.

Despite his death being sad, I know what you mean. When the story was told to me, it fit right in with the personality I knew. The big fella was no-nonsense and very much a man’s man. I could absolutely visualize him doing this. Defiance and masculine stubbornness right till the end.
Awesome AND funny.

All deaths mentioned here were self inflicted. Tragic? I'm afraid they were caused by arrogance, stupidity, and many mental disorders / lack of self knowledge
-
Debbie Dobbins
I do remember this one being very sad. If I remember, it was a house fire, maybe started by Christmas decorations.
-
On the Don Ross thing - I remember he was dieting down a bit, felt a pain in his chest and waited a little, then went back to the treadmill. People use to wonder if he'd still be ok if he just left for the day or went to the hospital.

I’m sure it had nothing to do with drugs, all predisposed genetic conditions :D

this could be argued for almost any death of a person younger than 80

Having Ed Conners suck your dick was a right of passage I thought. He has had just about everyone.
Friend said he saw him grope Jay Cutler and blow several.

Wasn't Steve Reeves 74 or 76 when he died?
What made it sad?
I will check on Wikipedia now.
