Today comes the tragic news of the passing of Canadian Bodybuilding Pro Scott Milne. To say I am shocked is an understatement, as Big Scott was only 46. I got to follow Scott's Bodybuilding career as he progressed throughout the CBBF Canadian competitions where his best finish was second in the Super Heavyweight category at the 2002 Championships. On the basis of his impressive performance he was awarded an IFBB Pro card.
Big Scott was nicknamed the "Canadian Moose" due to his massive structure. Standing 6'3" and a ripped 300 pounds, Scott was a pretty intimidating sight on stage. More importantly, he was a humble guy and his kind heart matched his huge stature. I got to know Scott and we became friends. The ironic part, is that the year after he became a Pro he was preparing for his first show and got involved in a horrific car accident, which almost killed him. His injuries were so bad that the Doctors informed him that he would never compete again. But Scott wasn't going to listen to such nonsense and was back on stage a year later.
Unofficially, it is rumoured that he suffered a Heart Attack. For all of us who knew and loved Scott this is a very tough one to digest. My condolences go out to his family, fans and friends. RIP Big Fella!
