British Teen Died from Steroids

[Necrosis]

Idiot journalists.    "Steroids" do not kill, unless you're talking about decades of abuse and the toll it takes on certain organs.  Whatever was in the pills other than steroids was what killed him.  That's the risk you take with black-market substances.   In a way, though, the illegalty of steroids is exactly what makes them dangerous.  If the laws were changed, and everyone using steroids got them from a legit licenses pharmacy and was monitored by a doc, they would be 100% safe.

100% safe? infertility, hepatoxicity, worsening of psychiatric conditions,edema and hypertension, increased epo and possible thrombotic complications etc etc...

relavtivly safe, but 100% not even close.

STERIOD WILL KILL WITH OVERDOSES, AND IT TAKE WEEKS TILL ALL HIS ORGANS WILL FAIL TO FUCTION ( MULTI ORGANS FAILURE ), HIGH DOSES OF STERIOD ON DAILY BASIS WITHOUT SUPERVISION, LEAD TO FITS, BRAIN OEDEMA, RENAL, AND LIVER FAILUE. SUDDEN DEATH MAY BE DUE TO TAKEN HIGH DOSES OF DIURITICS ( ALDACTONE, OR LASIX ) WHICH LEADS TO SEVERE DEHYDRATION, AND HEART ATTACK.

just to be very clear,,

ALL ABSOLUTELY ALL FELLAS WHO DIE FROM SUPPOSED USE OF HORMONES ,,ALWAYS IN EACH AND EVERY CASE HAD EITHER

1. NARCOTIC DRUGS IN SYSTEM (MAINLY PAIN KILLERS)

2. ALHOLOICS FELLAS THAT DRANK AND I MEAN DRANK NOT A BEER OR 2 EVERY SUNDAY

3. PRE DETERIMED AND KNOWN OR UNKNOWN HEALTH CONDITION INVOLVING THE HEART


NO ONE EVER DIED WHILE USING ONLY HORMONES ,,NOT EVEN ONE CASE OF A LIFTER WHO TOOK HORMONES AND DIED AND WAS ONLY ON HORMONES,,NOT EVEN ONE! NOT PROFESSIONAL NOT AMATURE NOT ANY TYPE OF LIFTER NOT EVEN BEGGINERS THAT USE MEGA DOSING AND SOME STUPID BEGGINERS USE MEGADOSING BUT NEVER DIE ,,


HORMONES ARE NATURAL TO THE BODY AND ITS NOT DRUGS ONLY BY LAW IT IS DRUGS BUT IT IS SUPPLEMENTS AND NOT CONTREOLLED IN MANY COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD ,,


MOST BODYBUILDERS AND WRESTLERS THAT YOU HEAR DIE FROM HORMONES IN REAKLITY DIE FROM THE ABUSE OF PAIN KILLERS AND DUERTICS IN CASE OF BDYBUILDERS ,,BODYBUILDERS IS THE CASE AT POINT HERE ,,SO I WILL GO AND SAY HERE THAT BODY BUILDERS WHO DIED PRE MATURE DEATH DIED FROM THE USE OF PAIN  KILLERS AND NARCOTICS IN GENERAL IN ADDITION TO DURETICS ,,MOST FELLAS WILL BE ABLE TO LIVE STILL BUT THOSE BODYUBUILDERS WHO DIED HAD CAIOTIC LIFE STYLE THAT INCLUDED DRINKING ,,REC DRUGS ,,PAIN KILLERS ,,DURETICS ,,

THERE IS ONE CATAGIORY WHICH I PUT ASIDE AND THIS CATAGORY IS THE BODYBUUILDER WHO DIE FROM INSULIN USE ,,THOSE ARE NOT BODYBUILDERS THOUGH ,,THEY ARE USUALLY GYM CLUB RATES THAT WAKE UP EVERY DAY AT 4 PM AND GOING TO SHOW OFF IN GYM FOR 30 MIN THEN TO BOUNCE AT CLUB AND SELL DRUGS ,,INBETWEEN THEY INJECT ENOURMOUS UNITS OF INSULIN AND JUST DONT PAY ATTENTION TO NOTHING IN GENERAL ,,THEY USUALLY DIE IN THIER SLEEP AS IN GO TO SLEEP AND NEVER WAKE UP,,THIS GROUP IS DIFF AND VERY SMALL,,

Good times.

I wonder if the autopsy toxicology report has come out.

He died of brain swelliing.

The issue is that this young man thought he was taking steroids, he told the ambulence drivers he had been taking steroids.

The clinical presentation has things  that do fit with hyperacute liver failure, what caused the acute liver failure remains to be determined.

Clinical presentation

ALF usually presents with malaise, nausea and jaundice. The interval between the onset of jaundice and the onset of encephalopathy depends on the aetiology and is used to classify ALF:

hyperacute liver failure (7 days between onset of jaundice and encephalopathy)

acute liver failure (8–28 days)

subacute liver failure (5–12 weeks).
 
This classification has implications for the prognosis and inci­dence of cerebral oedema, which is more common in hyperacute failure.

As liver failure progresses, encephalopathy becomes the characteristic feature.

The grading of encephalopathy is described in Figure 2. The mechanism of encephalopathy is not fully understood.

Ammonia, false neurotransmitters and endogenous benzodiazepine ligands that enhance the effect of the inhibitory transmitter ?-aminobutyric acid have been proposed as causes.

Grade 1: altered moods, impaired concentration and psychomotor function

Grade 2: drowsy, inappropriate behaviour, inability to speak

Grade 3: very drowsy, disoriented, agitated, aggressive

Grade 4: coma, may respond to painful stimuli

we get, you know medical nomenclature...........y our glad something like this came up, so as it gave you the opportunity to throw around some physiological jargon so everyone can see how smart you are........we are all impressed...........

Even if this kid had pre-existing medical issues, what oral anabolic could possibly cause his demise within 3 weeks?

The kid thought he was taking aas, told his dad so eventually, and thats whats deemed culpable. But, surely the doctors would've said cant be, steroids cannot cause this, or an autopsy would've taken place?

Parents’ warning over steroid death of marine cadet teen Matt Dear

    *
    *

By Rebecca Evans 21/04/2009
Matthew Dear

TRAGEDY: Matt Dear

A cadet aged 17 died yesterday after taking steroids in a tragic bid to get into the Marines.

Matt Dear suffered a fatal swelling to the brain when he tried a £30 black market batch of body-building pills.

Dad Chris, 43, of Southend, Essex, said: “He lived for joining the armed forces but fell to pieces before our eyes.”

After his death yesterday, his grieving family released this heart-wrenching photo of him as he vainly fought for life in hospital.

Mum Tina, 41, said: “He was my baby. and I can’t believe this has happened. We just hope that by sharing our pain over his tragic death we can help save someone else’s life and make them think twice about taking steroids.”

Dad Chris, 43, added sadly: “He was such a good kid – pure gold. He lived for joining the armed forces. But our healthy, strong son fell to pieces before our eyes because he took steroids.”

Part-time postman Matt – in the Army and Marine cadets since he was 12 – could not wait to take the gruelling selection test and join the real thing when he turned 18 in three months.

He spent hours in the gym and was so health-conscious he did not smoke, rarely drank and even shunned painkillers and chocolates.

Tragically, he undid all his good work when he secretly spent £30 on the black market pills three weeks ago.

Classroom assistant Tina,  said: “He was so vulnerable and trusting. He would have taken them out of naivety as he wanted to be fit enough for the Marines.”

Matt, whose brother Peter, 16 was also a cadet, first fell ill two weeks ago after a barbecue.

His dad, also a postman, said: “I put it down to food poisoning. Even though he felt ill, he still went to work.”

But a week ago he took a turn for the worse – and came clean for the first time about the drugs. Chris, of Southend, Essex, said: “He said he didn’t know where he was. His pupils were the size of saucers and he seemed really ill.

“When paramedics arrived, Matt told them he’d taken steroids. This was the first we knew.”

CLOSE  Matt, left, and Peter

His son went to hospital but was discharged the next morning when he felt better.

His father added: “I was still so angry at him for being so stupid and taking steroids that I told him off as we walked home.”

Matt seemed fine for most of the rest of the day. However, that evening he told Peter he could not see. He returned to hospital and a scan appeared clear, but after the first day he rapidly grew worse.

Chris added: “He said he felt he was drunk and had horrendous stomach pains. He was screaming out in pain. He was in such agony. It was unbearable to see.

“They moved him to the critical unit. They had to sedate him and he started to have fits. They did another scan and told us his brain had swollen.”

Matt, who had three brothers and a sister, finally lost his fight for life yesterday morning. Chris added: “They said his  brain had died and his kidneys packed in.”

An Essex Police spokeswoman warned of the risks of steroids and said: “Health experts advise extreme caution before taking any non-prescribed performance-enhancing substances.”

dA youth, 17, a man, 21, and another man, 24, all from Essex, were arrested on suspicion of supplying a controlled substance and later released on bail.

Proof that steroids will kill you instantly no matter what. Show some respect for this potential bodybuilder who lost his life... Put down the needle and pick up a novel.

What a shame! Took enough "steroids" to end up like this, but apparently not enough to build any amount of muscle at all. He looks like he'd never touched a weight in his life!

A true waste of genetic potential as yet another life is lost to the juice.

Roiders are dropping left and right and I'm starting to suspect MJ, Billy Mays, Farrah Fawcett, McNair...all roids...



Clearly some sort of anabolic as his forearms engulf most of the pic, thumbs look as sturdy as the most ancient pillars, and his watch struggles to remain intact.

For all we know his 'dealer' buddies gave the kid repackaged rat poison to play a prank on him or some other bogus shit, I want to see the toxicology report and what substances were actually contained in his stomach and blood stream

i agree, i be really suprised if what that kid took was a steroid, he might very well have though it was a steroid, but i would bet that is not that case

Your average doc knows less about AAS than you'd think.  With the exception of docs who take an interest in HRT, most in general practice are brutally ignorant.

Well said..

And your old enough to type better..

[Sir Humphrey]

LOL. England has long been the home to the trashiest, yellow journalism since Hearst. This sensationalism is quite tame compared to other shit that passes as news.

/page 3 ftw!

Just for you, dr. chimps 

[WEIBK]

Dear WEIBK with all due respect because you always post with honesty and knowledge burt this time i must disagree with you, steroid abuse would need to be for many many years until causing sickness or in rare cases death, this young British man died very quickly from just taking some pills, i truly believe they were not steroids and like many others have said recreational drugs which he thought were steroids, sadly steroids will be blamed again.

DEAR SCHMOE BUSTER, I HIGHLY RESPECT YOUR OPENION, MY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT STERIODS NOT THAT MUCH, AS I KNOW STEROIDS DON'T KILL IMMEDIATELY, IT COULD BE TO UNKOWN PILLS WHICH HE TOOK, AND WITH POST PORTUNE THEY CAN FINE WHAT EXACTLY HE TOOK. RESPECT TO YOUR OPEHION.

[local hero]

ive yet to see anything in the news about this... would have been glued to my locker at work, no question..

[The Wizard of Truth]

That dumb dead little girl never took real gear
Look at him sure
He was sold junk or hes an E head,which is more likely

[big L dawg]

I can't believe there are people that actually think story's like this are legit.this is yet another reason why steroids should be legalized and regulated.who knows what this kid took that caused his death but being as it was black market shit I guarantee It wasn't d-bol.
