TUSCALOOSA, Ala. A national bodybuilding champion who was a student at the University of Alabama was found dead Wednesday morning by his roommate.

Dan Puckett, 22, was a senior at Alabama and would have graduated in December. Capt. Loyd Baker, commander of the Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit, said Puckett's roommate found him dead in the bathroom of their apartment.

Puckett's roommate last saw him about 1 p.m. Tuesday. He had complained of a possible muscle injury after returning home from the gym.

"The roommate left and returned at 7 a.m. He couldn't get an answer at the door and got a call that no one had heard from him since Tuesday afternoon," Baker told The Tuscaloosa News. "When he got no response, he forced his way in and found him on the bathroom floor."

Baker said there were no visible signs of trauma or any suggestion of foul play. An autopsy was scheduled for Thursday. But it could take weeks for toxicology results to be returned for a final determination.

Puckett was from Muscle Shoals. He was studying marketing at Alabama's School of Commerce and Business Administration. He was the heavyweight winner of the 2006 NPC Teenage/Collegiate National Bodybuilding contest held in Pittsburgh.

I have a feeling this might be a big bodybuilding story. 22 years old is VERY young, even for something as risky as bodybuilding.

MD just offered me $75 to fly down to Alabama to interview the dead boy's mother and tell her that steroids had nothing to do with it.

You got me. Okay, so it was $50, with a stipulation I had to get her to wear a 'No Bull Radio' shirt while interviewing her on camera.

I don't think this is a good time for jokes.
Rest in Peace and may his family find peace after such a tragedy. Dan

Regardless of the autopsy results, no teenager should be taking that amount of gear. Just look at the kid's face and jawline. He is gh-ed and juiced to the gills. Curious to see if this gets major media attention.

But it's a shame, especially for his parents.

I know you try to be funny sometimes but this is classless. Save the jokes for some other time.
