what ever happened to him last thing i heard, he slipped into a coma. but i never heard anything of him or how he is doing after that.

This thread pops up often. Here is the deal. He came out of it but given the absolutely silence and the fact that nobody will elaborate how he is and the suggestions at the time that "he would never be the same again" it is probably true that he was left with some impaired function.

A real shame.

I was wondering too. Thanks for asking that question.

Hope he,s on the mend.

He came 6th at the olympia a couple years ago before his coma. He was on his way to do some damage, but too bad.

very artistic physique. i would like to know how this fellow is and why the bodybuilding media dropped his story like a hot potato. maybe someone from the MSM(mainstream media) will have the balls to report because the bodybuilding media dont got balls at all.

He slipped into a coma during surgery to repair his torn tricep

Orville is doing fine & he is all there. He suffered no brain damage, nor any physical problems either. He doesn't train at all anymore, and from what I gather he is secure money wise. This info I got from his physician who trains at my gym.

You could balance a pitcher of beer on his glutes. Nasty gut though.

Tiny waist and ridiculous taper. He got a lot of criticism for his flaws, but he was awesome. A cartoon come to life.

I guess he was able to retire on the $20,000 he earned in contest money. What's an unemployed 44-year old former bodybuilder with health problems to do? Maybe he'll be the next Apprentice.

As well as rumored to be formerly employed by Donald Trump, according to his article in FLEX (with a photo of him in his security suit).
I'm guessing Orville is pretty messed up from the whole ordeal. From the drugs, training and otherwise, and the operation and resulting coma, to the whole hush-hush part about it. Nobody's saying anything. TP once closed a thread over at MM about Orville, out of "respect" for a fallen IFBB'er. Whatever.
Things that make you go Hmmmmmm, eh Shawn? Speaking of Shawn, maybe he'll pipe up here?!?!?!?!

If he had good health insurance and shit went bad then he must have got a lot money.

tommywishbone · « **Reply #19 on:** March 10, 2006, 09:12:16 PM »

If he went into a coma during biceps sugery, I'm guessing a medical malpractice suit was filed. $$$.

It was filed, but he didn't win. And if any of you think that this IS hearsay--then go ahead and keep believing that. And if you think that his only source of income came from bodybuilding/being a casino guard for Trump---you're sadly mistaken. There is no conspiracy as to what happended to him, nor is the IFBB keeping silent about him. The truth is that he is out of sight--OUT OF MIND/CONCERN!!!
