RIP - Dallas McCarver - 08-22-17

[The Ugly]

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.

Realize we're simply speculating, but the opposite seems just as likely: choking causes heart attack, I mean.

No?

If it were only choking, someone already mentioned a more realistic scenario: one doesn't simply surrender to suffocation, ultimately collapsing where they stand/sit. A desperate panic sets in immediately - if this Josh was in another room (assuming I understood correctly), Dallas would've made a beeline to that area, bulldozing his 280+ lbs. against/over/through everything in between. Would've been a loud, violent event.

Happened once when I was a kid, large jawbreaker. Within seconds, I was reaching and pulling at everyone within reach, mortally terrified.

RIP, either way. 26 is goddamn heartbreaking, regardless of lifestyle. This fucking "sport," though ...

WWE Star Dana Brooke Mourns the Death of Her Boyfriend Dallas McCarver: ‘You Were My Life’

http://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/entertainmentnews/wwe-star-dana-brooke-mourns-the-death-of-her-boyfriend-dallas-mccarver-%E2%80%98you-were-my-life%E2%80%99/ar-AAqyPNV?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp

WWE wrestler Dana Brooke took to social media Tuesday, hours after news broke that her boyfriend, bodybuilder Dallas McCarver, had died, to pay tribute to him.

In a heartfelt message, Brooke called McCarver "the best individual I have ever met."

"So here it goes, I'll try & be short- aug 22 the lord received another angel, who happens 2 be my LIFE- MY Dallas the one WHO ONLY UNDERSTOOD ME! I can speak on the behalf of his family- the love and support you all are showing for him & us is OVERWHELMING!!" Brooke began.

"He had a way with making people laugh!! Dallas was an exceptional body builder, but I didn't see him for that .. I saw him for HIM AND HIS HEART!!" Brooke continued. "He is the best individual I have ever met- my ying to my yang.. finished my sentences and knew what I was thinking before I'd say it!!"

The WWE personality added, "you were my life , you are my life, I still smell u and feel ur presence, NEVER LEAVE MY SIDE -- like I have always asked; and u said NO NEVER Mrs. McCarver -- I had your back and I knew you had mine!!"

In a follow-up post, Brooke noted that she had launched the Dallas McCarver Foundation in his honor. The foundation will benefit underprivileged children, she said.
"This is something he loved ANYONE WHO KNOWS DALLAS KNOWS HIS [love] for children!" Brooke wrote.

Brooke told TMZ that McCarver, 26, was found unconscious shortly after midnight Tuesday in his Florida home. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

According to Brooke, it's believed that McCarver died as the result of choking on food. The wrestler said that when she last spoke to McCarver he was preparing to make dinner, and the last thing he said to her was, "I love you. Goodbye."

Looks like shes been well schooled by the WWE PR machine.

BRUTAL!

Gross. Dennis Leary is pathetic
Also the ham sandwich story is not true:

Odd:
the people who participate in eating contests never seem to choke on anything?

[Las Vegas]

From the MD Forum:


as i stated on the other thread, i live near flex lewis' gym and the word on the street is that Dallas DIED inside Flex's gym. He was doing cardio late last night with Josh and then Josh went to the bathroom, but when he came back he found Dallas face flat against the floor and not breathing. Again, He died inside Flex Lewis' gym which is WHY Aron Singerman is saying in his video that Flex gave him a call to tell him Dallas had died. He was not in his apartment when he died. Singerman just had to come up with something and did not want to share that he must have died of a heart attack while doing cardio in order to protect his athlete which i highly commend him for. I would have also done the same thing.
However, all facts cant be really hidden because the police report will state exactly where he was found. If he was found inside his apartment or in Flex Lewi's gym, the police report will tell all.

Local PD confirms responding to house BTW, so that answers it.  No one changed any story.

they are professionals.

[falco]

Usually people fear disease or a car crash, but most people who die of unatural conditions, either slip in the bathtub or choke on a meatball.

[ratherbebig]

well just replace bathtub with shower and stay off the meatballs

[Ropo]

Well look who it is. I mean it's said he choked on food so it MUST be true right? Anyone saying otherwise is wearing a tin foil hat 

Well, if you have some evidence which proves otherwise, why don't you present those? 

[rocket]

Jesus, I hope this isn't true because I can't stop laughing at the thought. Fuck.

It's a raw time for such sentiment, but when the dust settles, I think this board will have a field day with it.

So I agree, I hope it is not the case.

Honestly, I come to this board every single day to find out if someone in bodybuilding died.  This one was a big surprise.

I'd say RIP, but it's meaningless. 

Instead, I'll say .. this is a sad moment.

[smblkolds]

Most people can move to help when choking. My wife ran into the living room pointing at her throat but couldnt say a word, couple years ago. I knew she was choking and I performed the Hemlich. I remember thinking "holy shit! It works!" as a piece of steak flew out of her mouth. What I'm saying is that he most likely would have been able to get his friend if it was just choking. Let the jokes begin now. Should of said to her "What? Cant hear you", or should have punched her in the mouth first. Ha, i get it. But the poor guy probably was dead as he hit the floor if it was a massive heart attack.

[oldschoolfan]

i am betting he either had a stroke or a heart attack

Having followed pro bodybuilding for what, more than 2 decades, I know what we all know:

it's a drug ridden freak show full of lies, half truths, deceit and addicted cheating junkie retards.

and thats why you followed it for 2 decades.

you love that shit

[Tha Grim Lifter]

By that logic we don't have any evidence he was using steroids either

[Simple Simon]

he admitted using insulin to me when I was trolling him about 4 years ago on MD, I got banned and his post was removed

[Top Poodle]

Is that Peter Dinklage?

i was more impressed by the water tbh

[denarii]

Would anyone be interested in chipping in so we could replace his plastic bodybuilding trophies with a couple of real ones to be buried with?

Or even Rich Piana for that matter?

[gib]

Makes me wonder if the incident in Australia where he collapsed on stage was not a heart attack as well. Maybe not diagnosed but a warning sign

[Rascal full]

Big wake up call for all the top pros engaging in chemical warfare and putting their bodies through hell. Where's Justin Compton? I thought he would go before Dallas?

shrunken down and recuperating.

[rocket]

I'd like to challenge this idea that most of the board "bashed" dallas

I think that's bullshit.

I think most of the board had a negative opinion on him being a top top pro

I think most of the board considered his blowing up so quickly to be detrimental to his health

I know a few people made comments about ugliness and whatnot, but as far as I can remember, that's it.

So to be clear, very few people were being personal about him and I think most of the board has therefore the right to say whatever empty platitudes they wish.

[BB]

We could start the Sandow Foundation. Buy a few dozen of these -

And a case of this -

Give them all the Sandow that they were chasing in life.

He actually heeded his body's warning signs and took a break.

Great! Someone obviously got through to him and by doing so extended his life by about 30 years!

Correct. Dallas and Compton were trying to be Ronnie weight right off the bat. And Dallas was trying to put up Ronnie in the gym. The pushing/lifting extreme weight, drugs, and weighing 300+ is hard on all your systems. And many people had said "slow down". All except for ones who sponsor him...
