Orville Burke

Whatever happened to Orville Burke, he took the NOC a few years ago and hasn't been seen since.  He was a nice guy, met him when he was with Iron Tek.

I don't know the details as it is on the other board but he was/is in the Hospital in a coma not sure if it was Bodybuilding related or not but if you do a search for his name you will see all discussions on him.

Where Orville Burke is now who knows, there is absolutely no information about him after the fact.  Some suggestions by somebody saying that they had heard that "he was just waiting for the ok from the doctor to compete again" but aside from that rumour absolutely nothing.

His website still (presumably) is doing business but there is absolutely no real information on how he is doing.  Unfortunately this somewhat gives creedence to the comments by perhaps those who knew the situation that he would never be the same again after it happened.

Orville was having some kind of surgery that went terribly wrong and ended up in a coma.

Last i heard, he came out of it ok, but his bbing career had to come to an end.  Of course, the doctors said the drug use had nothing to do with his condition.  Funny how pretty much every single pro to retire due to medical problems, somehow slips medicals problems stemming from their drug use.  It seems as if everytime someone goes down, they will come out and say it wasn't because of drug use, as if the insane chemical warfare on their body had nothing to do with their apparent poor condition.  Just because 1 thing is a direct result of something that is not drugs, doesn't mean that the underlying cause isn't the overall toxicity and lack of good health of the individual.
