Funk, silly me, I thought Matt was dead already. Another one dead in their 50's? Romano's bodies are piling up these days.

He was 61 years old so not that young really. I mean after 60 anyone, even clean living people are running risk of heart failure.

I'd say when bodybuilders drops dead below the ages of 55 or so PED's can usually be said to be a direct cause.
