RIP - Dallas McCarver - 08-22-17

[Coach is Back!]

Hurm..

He was a grown man with full mental faculty...

He was aware, or should have been, of the plethora of risks he was induldging in.  Book stops with him.

May as well blame the fans and people who brought his merch too...

You hire a "guru" for a reason, to make training decisions for you and you put your trust in him/her for a reason.

[Man of Steel]

I know it appears he choked at this time but it's worth noting that only Ronnie C survived Chad.  Most dead or dialysis. You can't place blame on somebody else really, these guys all know what level they are at.

Why is that worth noting when it's unrelated to the situation?  

Regardless of the potential truth of that note, how does it relate?

I ate some food last night in my kitchen.  Is that worth noting since both Dallas and I were in kitchens eating food?

Some pics of Dallas on his first pro win here in California in 2015.  He will be remembered as always being a respectful competitor. Wishing the family condolences and peace during this tough time.

Always struck me as a very respectful guy.

[Parker]

Yes, confirmed.   Tons of calls, emails, texts all this morning...

Dallas was training with Josh Lenartowicz at Flex Lewis's gym getting ready for the Olympia.  Where they were staying while not training, word has it that Dallas did choke on something he was eating, Josh was in another room, when he came back, he found Dallas on the floor in the kitchen, not breating, tried to revive him, could not.  Paramedics came, took him to hospital, tried to revive him...

We are all hearing the same story out there... but we need to wait until the official report, and Josh tells exactly what is going on.

Condolences to his family.

]if this was due to choking on food. Sad. And this highlights the importance of chewing one's food thoroughly. Not inhaling it like it will run away. And knowing how to do the Heimlich maneuver on one's self.

There comes a time where these so called "gurus" and the judging as well have to be held responsible.

You nanny-state liberals need to let adults make their own decisions and be responsible for them.  Tragic episode, but no need for you libs to get your panties twisted and start blaming everyone else. It could have been nothing more than a sudden accident, that's it.

[Tennisballz]

There's no way I can believe choking on food is what caused his death.  Not trying to be disrespectful but that's total bs.  Just the same as how bronchitis was what caused him to pass out on stage.

[SuperTed]

RIP. Very sad. Was probably my favourite of the current pro's.

 

[deadz]

Anyone who believes his death was directly related to chocking is a fool. I warned his family. Piana is next.

[Rimstinger]

We do not know if he choked on his food...I have a feeling that is not the case as someone choking on food can make loud noises as they struggle and could take a minute to die from oxygen starvation or even more.

After training hard likely he had a heart attack whilst eating and dropped on the spot.

Oh shut up

[SF1900]

You hire a "guru" for a reason, to make training decisions for you and you put your trust in him/her for a reason.

I hear you always talk about "personal responsibility," but seems you only tout those words when it fits your agenda.

He is still responsible for hiring gurus and listening to their advice. He could have ignored their advice.

Either way, we are all influenced by distal and proximal factors.

[Man of Steel]

Why is it foolish?  That's all the current data available to us.  How are you aware of circumstances outside of that? 

If the choking is confirmed does that make you the fool?

Gotta agree. When you  home you start to panic and if he was choking he would have banged on the table or ran To the other room to get his friend.

Coach is a staunch republican.

He was in the kitchen eating and was found dead, lets not forget:

Don Youngblood died in his kitchen too, heart attack. Had he taken a bite of a pizza, people would have blamed pizza.

Chocking will not be confirmed. Do you believe he would have met the same fate if he was not a BB on grams of chemicals?

Could he have choked on his food due to a heart attack. Meaning he was having a heart attack, which caused the choking.

[Nether Animal]

Could he have choked on his food due to a heart attack. Meaning he was having a heart attack, which caused the choking.

Probably this, but they will go out of their way to obfuscate it, if true.

They will attribute it to something relatively benign and not directly related to his enormous size and the risks associated with it and BBing. I'm sure the associated supp companies are already trying to save some measure of face through this. Sad but true.

That's very likely.

It would be worth noting if you were a pro bodybuilder living on that same edge. You're a smart guy, no need to intentionally miss the point.

So pro bodybuilders are more prone to choking on food because of their chemical abuse?

Is that the connection being drawn?

I'm not saying there isn't something else at play in Dallas' case, I'm just not jumping the gun until more information is disclosed.

Just like how Rich Piana hit his head as he fell during an innocent hair-cut

[SF1900]

That's very likely.

10 to 1 he was having a heart attack, which then caused him to choke on his food. But of course, just a hypothesis.

Either way, it still sucks.
