So the word is he committed suicide and James found him?

Yes - that’s what I’ve been told & posted - as any of these things the info may
Change - early times still. What ever has happened it is a Tragedy Be it Suicide / Murder / Heart attack - He’s Gone & it’s Sad for those that Knew Him.
I can’t claim I knew well - he competed against a couple of lads I helped at the British finals
When they did well & Him & James went on to win in the following couple of years.
A very decent Man & Father by all accounts.

I had never heard of this guy, but these days there seem to be thousands of "IFBB Pro's", so I don't think such a 25 cents membership card means anything in 2020

Yeah there are far more Pros around now - Luke was a very good competitor and progressing up the pro ranks very well, Not just a 25cents Pro.

He overdid his insulin injection dose and went into diabetic insulin shock. Not suicide, but a sad tragedy.

In before Aaron starts another charity for kids in his honor.

He’s gotta get paid from the corona virus and court fees

That would be more of a likely scenario then suicide.

Why would he be doing insulin ? He wasn't training or doing any bulking or anything !! Just said 4 days ago on his podcast he was in great health. Something fishy. I knew he was having issues with his ex, but he moved on very quickly with some new broad. Seemed happy. And no way would he take his life knowing he had his son. Jesus redcon1 has blood on their hands. Singerman just has the beat athletes dieing under his brand. Fuck redcon1 they are garbage. I'm th8nking massive heart attack.

Says he is a father and If he did in fact commit suicide he’s not thinking of his kid or kids

In his head he probably thought it WAS best for his kid. That's how suicidal thoughts work.

Where did this suicide idea come from ? Such rubbish. Although, I had a good mate, the last bloke I'd think woukd commit suicide do it, it's something people can hide very well. But I don't understand where the ideas are coming from

IroNat · « **Reply #67 on:** May 07, 2020, 02:34:07 PM »

Suicide caused from eating too much rice and chicken breasts.

I have tried to write something several times and can’t find the words to do it. It feels like DejaVu two young men gone long before they should have.
-
I have known Luke for over a decade we were both sponsored by Gaspari, seen him win his pro card and watch his career grow into Signing with RedCon1, Podcasts, and on stage placing 3rd at the Arnold’s- Very proud. We got closer over the years, and not a week would go by without some shit talk from him. Luke was a very funny guy and his humor I will miss. We rarely talked training, and i knew Luke was a deep guy but I never knew he was hurting. Rest Well bro.

ANYONE who feels low, with suicidal thoughts or mental illness, know your never alone and to please reach out to someone and talk, there are many professional organizations that want to help.

More and more people close to him are alluding to the fact it was suicide

Suicide hotlines are not of much help to suicidal men from what I heard... Very few organizations overall actually try to help males who need it.
Unfortunately when you're truly depressed & suicidal the last thing some people think about is calling a friend or relatives for help, at least that's how my brain works. You don't think rationally and believe you're a burden to everyone around you and would be better off dead.

I didn’t realize he had kids. I don’t get how you can off yourself when you have kids. I know people will jump all over me for this but I don’t care how bleak things are, leaving behind kids like that is the most selfish act possible. If you’re “sick” get help. And don’t tell me he couldn’t think rationally b/c of his mental illness. He was rational enough to make plenty of other adult decisions.
