RIP Matt Duvall

[PhiSig2298]

Found dead in his bathroom. Cause of death is unknown. 40 years old.

[midcoastking33]

for the unaware

RIP. didnt know of him but I can guess the cause of death was a complication from those muscletech supps.

Really? You ascertain that from what?

that he was only 40 and died of "unknown causes"

that he was only 40 and died of "unknown causes"

Unknown causes means they haven't released his cause of death, yet. It isn't like someone dies and they immediately know the cause of death or immediately release it once they do get those results. And plenty of people die at young ages for a variety of reasons that don't include muscletech supplements. If Lance Armstrong died today, would you guess it was due to PED use?

true, but its still not common for 40 years old to drop dead. You cant say that complications from supplements seems implausible

It is a possibility, but do you know how many BBers actually die that young from complications? Not many and if he had complications then they would have been known. It isn't like it just pops up one day and you're dead - all these guys get tested on the regular to check liver/kidney, all that stuff.

Duvall's arms always amazed me.

Dirty narcotics.

[alan aragon]

It kinda sucks how it's never too shocking when pro BBers die prematurely.

[Rodzilla]

cause of death was probably a condition/complication that developed on account of all of those bodybuilding drugs not muscletech supps - though they probably weren't helping either.

This.

It may be something else, but it'd be naive imo to think it's probably just coincidence.

There's allot more to that life style that would have a negative impact on your health then just the tech. Maintaining a body weight of 300+lbs into your 40's, massive amounts of stimulants and diuretic abuse that are a typically a part of body building will obviously play a big role too. I'm not saying tech wouldn't have any influence on a body builder dying young but when you couple in all other things to be considered placing the blame solely on tech is just ridiculous.

[RugbyTank]

I blame society, legalize and studies can be made = winning.

I mean pharma

This. To be an actual pro, it isn't just muscletech. It is a whole miniature pharmacy of things. I think we'll see this age of BBers dealing with diabetes a lot as they age
