Noted Powerlifter and former Musclemag columnist died in an auto wreck earlier this week. He had been asked about here a few weeks back - http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/newsobserver/obituary.aspx?n=christopher-confessore&pid=168487845&fhid=16929 .

Killed by the iron, not a great way to die for a powerlifter...

Lift in peace

RIP. Used to like reading his column in Musclemag back in the day.

This is going to sound terrible, but I was relived that he didn't die in a hospital bed, tied to a dialysis machine while fighting a hepatic lymphoma through chemo.

Just curious, does anyone have any clips of his benching. Ive heard positive and negative things about his lifts. Either way sad news RIP

I know of him. He owned a Carpet Cleaning Business near Raleigh. Everything I have heard about him was always positive.

TA, I presume you're not experiencing the same level of distance toward his death, as you did DA's.

Speak on this.

I spoke with Chris weekly when I was an editor at MuscleMag, as I was in "charge" of putting his column together. Real friendly and helpful guy.

This is horrible news.

I remember his columns...they were great.

Damn! He was one of my idols when I first started out. I remember he answered one of my questions in his Musclemag column about my bench. At that time he told me I needed to open a hardcore gym since we did not have any in the area. It only took me 18 years to take his advice. He was a great guy and an awesome bencher!!!

23 minutes in or so. This video has him, Inzer, Lain, and a bunch of older lifters. This fellow's channel also has a lot of Power meets from the mid 80's - 90's -
