Dont know the cause but im gonna go out on a limb and say heart attack or stroke. He has stayed damn big even though he stopped competing years ago

Fuck!

He wasn't even an extremely ripped guy nor mass monster....or even competing for the matter as of lately.
P.I.P. :(

**Edit: Sorry had him confused with Mark Dugdale. Duvall was definitely a big dude.

well, that superman tat on his shoulder added at least 80 pounds to his lift...
If his death is true, damn...
Sadly, he and the Jersey Smirk-Boy (whose girlfriend had a meltdown on here) used to be good friends.
And he was friends with Trevor Smith, and apparently used his synthol, which he didn't need.
I thought he'd make some waves.

mark Dugdale is a successful Christian businessman with a beautiful wife and kid. He's too busy to feel "depressed", and he doesn't need bodybuilding. From the impression I got about Matt Duvall, bbing was all he had, and when he started losing his hair, he wore a bandana. And when he felt he wasn't good enough, the SEO went in, his conditioning was crappy. And it seemed that all he had was bbing.

I'd like to see how Richard Jones is doing.

he made a comeback a few yrs ago, and came out of shape. He will be 40 next yr. So, I hope that he doesn't compete again, and has a good career.

I remember seeing him at Diamond in NJ as I was on my way home after a workout. I think it was 1996, just before he started competing nationally. I believe he was in the gym to register for one of the local shows, the Atlantic States maybe. He was surrounded by people then as well.

he made a comeback a few yrs ago, and came out of shape. He will be 40 next yr. So, I hope that he doesn't compete again, and has a good career.

He had a lot of potential but I don't think he was mentally strong got something like 15 place at the Olympia and a couple of out of place showings and just quit... Saying he was going to go for a real career was just an excuse..

Shawn got him one of the highest paying sponsorships from weider at around 90/100k a year at that time....

Why are the hardest drug abusers usually gays? Is this due to the mental strain caused from conforming to a society of heterosexuals?

No...The Queers go out during the witching hour..That's when all the drugs you hear about are abused in dance clubs etc.

mark Dugdale is a successful Christian businessman with a beautiful wife and kid. He's too busy to feel "depressed", and he doesn't need bodybuilding. From the impression I got about Matt Duvall, bbing was all he had, and when he started losing his hair, he wore a bandana. And when he felt he wasn't good enough, the SEO went in, his conditioning was crappy. And it seemed that all he had was bbing.

I'd like to see how Richard Jones is doing.
'

Did his masters work in economics and business. I think he was trying for the FBI, if I remember correctly.  Good move to leave bbing behind.\

he and Erik Fromm were the muscle-tech poster boys in the mid to late 90's.   Fromm died a few years in his late 30's I believe.   Hard to believe Kovacs outlived them both.
Muscle-Tech curse!

Heard it was a heart attack, not confirmed.

We all know that years of steroid use does absolutely not kill, so if it was a heart attack, it must have been a genetic condition.....    :-X

Just goes to show you, every  serious ass bodybuilder needs a M.D. as a friend. While it might not have changed fate, it sure as hell is a safeguard. Probably never got blood work either.
Too bad.

I think the problem is that most pro BB'ers might not be totally stupid (IQ) but they don't think about the long-term effects of their steroid abuse.
