35 is no age to die, this is sad

He was probably happy to get a transplant, thinking his life would get better and then it turns out like this... $:-\$

It would seem that Luke Wood is not dead. This information is supposedly current. Perhaps people should be wishing him a swift recovery instead of writing him off.

Hi Guys

Most of you know our friend and our brother, IFBB Pro and Australian bodybuilding legend, Luke Wood. A lot of you also know he has ****ed kidneys has had been battling with Dialysis to keep him healthy. Some of you know that he has to have a kidney transplant in the future.

Not many of you know that a week ago he got a phone call out of the blue from the hospital and they said, "We have a kidney for you, we can operate tomorrow morning, can you pack a bag and come straight in to prep you."

****!!! I really can't imagine how **** scared I would be. Luke has been feeling quite good on dialysis and he must have thought twice about this.

Anyway with an almost perfectly matched kidney he has just had the operation, but a few days ago his body started to reject it and he took a bit of a turn. He is on a **** load of anti rejection medicine at the moment and very, very sore and groggy.

He has just been released home to rest and has to go to the hospital every day for now and he is by no means out of the woods yet. (No pun intended)

He has his lovely finance Nora taking good care of him and he is always very positive about things, so here's hoping the big fella can make a full recovery as fast as possible.

You know, I have never heard Luke complain once or say "why me". Even when Luke has been at his lowest and most tired, he is still fun to be around and he can’t do enough to help others. Since this whole news hit him he has sucked it up and worked through it like a ****en steam train. I love and respect Luke so much for who he is outside of the bodybuilder and I know many of you do as well, I know Hound Dog, Schembri and Jenkins are also very close to Luke and have always been such good mates to him. Luke also has beautiful parents and everyone is there for him, so fingers crossed we can all see him up and about very soon and give him a big hug.

So feel free to jump on this thread and all let him know how we feel about him.

Love ya brother!

I am very happy to hear he is still alive and my thoughts are with him to get better and i really hope he does. GOOD LUCK BROTHER!

I got a text from DJ during the night here and had to sadly confirm.

For once, I am lost for words. Sad, sad day for us all. My deepest sympathy to Luke's Mum and Dad, Nora and family. They were his biggest supporters. To all his mates, stay strong, this will be tough. I have had texts of support and best wishes from his pro mates during the night, he has touched many people all over the world. Luke lived his dream and I know that he inspired a whole generation with his travels. Sadly he won't get to live part 2 of his dream, the family and business part. He was getting married in 6 weeks. He will be sadly missed.

I think you are mistaken. Unless there is more than one pro bodybuilder named Luke Wood, he isn't 68 years old. See below:

IF Doherty is reporting it to be true, sadly, it has to be true.

It would appear that it is true that Luke Wood's body rejected the transplant and as a result he died.

Whoa fella, you don't have to get all nasty about this. It was an honest mistake. I'd rather error on behalf of someone being alive than them having died. Of course you are right that in a later post his death was confirmed. It doesn't help either that someone posted a link in this tread to an obituary for a different Luke Wood.

Yes sadly it is true.

I can see this thread turning to shit so I might start a respectful tribute thread. Luke was a good guy, his family are the nicest people you could ever meet. I know his Mum and dad have been at all of his shows.

He was talked to and warned many, many times. As you said he was young and easily led. He had blind faith when it come to his "brother" - mentor.

First Blood · « **Reply #47 on:** August 31, 2011, 03:34:49 PM »

I think a lot of bodybuilders should think about what they are doing and stop with the hormonization...lift as hobby, get a proper job and enjoy time with your family. No need to be the biggest or strongest.

diuretics did man, pain killers and opiates by themselves wont do that kind of damage, do you know how many pill junkies there are walking the earth that dont need a kidney transplant to live.
