Chad Brothers
Brothers had a very promising career ahead of him until he was working out at Gold’s Gym one day and things went a bit wrong. Brothers tripped and fell while on a treadmill thus resulting him to overreact and destroy property. He screamed at the top of his lungs, throwing out threats at staff and other lifters, attacking people, flipping over heavy machines, and refusing to back off when the police when showed up. Brothers was then subsequently shot with two taser shots and sadly died within an hour. Following an autopsy, his body was found to be full of steroids and PCP.
Mike Matarazzo
During the 80s and 90s, just about everyone knew Mike Matarazzo was, partly because the man was huge. His size and weight were a staggering 5’10 and 250 pounds. For about 10 years, he dominated in the IFBB bodybuilding circuit and was well regarded for his huge arms and calves. After placing 21st in the Mr. Olympia tournament, he was forced into early retirement and into open heart surgery. Matarazzo had two more heart attacks following surgery and his heart reduced to just 20% functioning before his untimely death at just 48.
