Chris Dickerson - Updates - Grave Condition on a Ventilator
« on: March 15, 2020, 03:29:07 PM »
March 15, 2020, I received a phone call from my long-time friend /champion bodybuilder Joe Distinti.

Joe informed me that our close friend and former training partner Chris Dickerson (1970 AAU Mr. America, 1973 NABBA Amateur Mr. Universe, 1974 NABBA Professional Mr. Universe, 1982 IFBB Mr. Olympia) earlier this week, fell at his home and suffered a fractured hip.

While in the hospital Chris experienced a major heart attack and remains in intensive-care and is on a respirator.

Joe and I are keeping Chris in our prayers, hoping you will do the same. - Bill Pearl

I think he's 80 and has had health problems for awhile. Last time I saw him on film he could barely walk.

From what I’ve read & heard about Chris he’s been sucking most of his life.

Certainly I can’t see any advantages in Aging !! It’s Not Good.

It is scary when your contemporaries fall gravely ill. Brings the inevitable really close to home. I wish Chris well. And if that's not in the cards than I wish him a peaceful passing.

Oops.

Sadly, Olivia is rumored to be in bad shape due to advanced cancer.

Seems like training, good nutrition, a healthy and active lifestyle leaves you really frail
