Damn, I was beginning to think that he was immortal. RIP.
The guy had such a weird career, but he was so damn good in his prime.

He held it together for a good long lot of years, RIP.

Rest in peace Ageless Al :'(

Beckles was known for messing with his year of birth, so no idea how old he really was.
He did stupid things, but survived. If I remember correctly his heart stopped due to an injecting with insulin at a European BB contest in the 1980s?
A doctor was backstage and saved his life

Beckles was truly one of the greats. RIP.
Attention:
Another early death due to steroids.
Who knows how long he might have lived if he had stayed natty.
Let this be a wake-up call to all Getbiggers.
