His name is Douglas Fruchey. Never heard of him, but apparently he was tall for a bodybuilder, 188 cm or 6 ft 2:

Who?

This guy.

[Coach is Back!]

Coach likes to name drop here and there, who he’s rubbed elbows with it

Bhanky was by far the most famous person he had the pleasure of having lunch with

Yeah, well…50 years in bodybuilding with the better part of the 80’s 90’s and the last 6 years there you tend to get to know people. Troll

If I ask Mike O Hearn or big Louie who you are, would they know you?

I was just thinking about him yesterday

Outed

In the video interview, Doug comes across as a likeable, humble guy who just loved to train hard.  He struggled in life like many of us have (and still do).  Says he was recently married too    You never know what happens to make the final choice in life like he did.

May he rest in peace.

I suppose you're right about that.  Hope that wasn't the case as no spouse/partner is worth ending your own life over. 

Call a friend or family member, call 988, call SOMEBODY.

Now I recognize him.

Don’t know who “big Louie” is. Who are you again? You seem (like many on here) to like troll and talk shit behind that keyboard though. Say what you want about Hankins, at least he doesn’t hide

[Rusty Trombone]

It was all worth it. Never heard of him.  Rest in dirt Doug Fruitcake.

Good to know you hang with a women beating felon, but it’s ok, according to you “he doesn’t hide”

Next time you are ever in texas why don’t you hit up destination Dallas, I train out there often

I don’t really care if people on here know me or not, this board is entertainment

I don’t hang with anyone and was in Dallas last month for the NRA convention. Have no desire to go back. I’ll be in San Antonio in August and Dripping Springs/Austin in September

Why no desire to go back? A lot better than San Antonio, Houston

Dripping springs is a nice getaway, same with Fredericksburg

In San Antonio is one of my old instructors so I’m spending a 4 days with him. Kongo is in Dripping Springs so I’ll spend a week there training with him and my God kids and about half that time will be in Austin training with another shooting outfit (Sheepdog)

RIP

very popular presence in the venice scene

Did he commit suicide? sad! nice guy

He apparently died due to an overdose and it wasn't PED related...

Addicts gonna addict.

He was still an addict even after quitting opioids, meth, fentanyl or whatever he was on.

He switched his addiction from those drugs to anabolic steroids and whatever else to be a bodybuilder.

If you hang around the drug scene and drug users you are likely to relapse to the harder drugs.  Bad idea.

He never quit drugs.  Just switched drugs. 

Don't kid yourself that being a chronic 24/7/365 steroid user is not being an addict.

You are shooting up with needles in your ass or thighs (or taking pills) like the street addict.

It's all a foolish game for fools to play.  Are you a fool?

Brutal.

[Dalnet]

All these assholes will use everybody for more attention and what better way for a YouTuber bodybuilder to gain more views than to train with a kid with Down syndrome. Not that there is any problem with that but they are obviously gonna use this kid for all he’s worth.

Pretty much this. Takes nothing away from the Downs chap and his positivity. It's just clear that he's an accessory for some of these parasites.  O'hearn in particular. Posting pictures on his timeline of visiting a kids hospital ward to give presents, or whatever, that he'd done years previously as if it was a recent trip.

[Dalnet]

In his next video Ohearn will pose with him inside of a children's hospital.

Lol. Just read this after I replied to Rob. Exactly. Guy is in great shape and can't take away the fact he's made a career in an industry he clearly loves. But his entire persona is off-putting.

Yeah, dude. It's possibly the worst pain. I was actually feeling it in my chest. Never had that before. It takes a while to get back on your feet and some men never manage to handle it too well.

Whatever the reasons for it, RIP to that chap. Sounds like he had a shitty childhood, too.
