Rich Piana Dies; Famed Bodybuilder Was 46
Rich Piana, a bodybuilder famous for his massive physique, has passed away at the age of 46.
Piana was put in a medically-induced coma after he collapsed while getting a haircut on August 7.
Sadly, he never awakened, and his family shared the sad news of his death this morning.
Authorities have stated that they will conduct a full autopsy and investigation in order to determine a cause of death.
According to TMZ, a preliminary search of Piana’s apartment revealed 20 bottles of steroids and an unidentified white powder.
Piana was an admitted steroid user but at this time, it’s unclear of substances played a role in his death.
With more than 1 million Instagram followers and the title of Mr. California under his belt, Piana was one of the best-known names in the world of bodybuilding.
Piana reached more mainstream audiences through frequent media appearances, including a memorable segment on the popular Comedy Central series Tosh.0.
In his interview with comedian Daniel Tosh, Piana spoke of retiring from bodybuilding for his health.
“Your heart doesn’t know the difference,” Piana said when asked about the difference between a physique that’s 300 pounds of muscle versus one that’s 300 pounds of fat.
Unfortunately, it seems the allure of the lifestyle and its attendant money and fame were too much for Piana to resist.
While he retired from competition several years ago, Piana maintained his massive physique as a means of sustaining his online popularity.
This is the second death of a well-known bodybuilder this week.
On Tuesday, the world learned that Piana’s collegaue Dallas McCarver had passed away after choking on food.
As in Piana’s case, authorities are planning to conduct a full investigation and toxicity screening.
In a surprisingly candid YouTube post from 2014, Piana admitted to 30 years of steroid use, telling his followers that performance enhancing drugs are a sad necessity of his profession.
“If you want to become a professional bodybuilder, guess what — you’re probably going to have to f—in’ do ‘em,” he said in the video.
“You’re not going to have a choice.”
Piana went on to caution his fans of the dangers of hormone supplements, saying:
“There’s no reason to do steroids, you’re only hurting your body, you’re hurting yourself.”
Tragically, it seems Piana may have had difficulty following his own advice.

Dallas McCarver, Professional Bodybuilder, Dies from Choking
Dallas McCarver, a world famous bodybuilder who rose to national prominence in 2011, tragically died this week after choking on food at his Florida home.
He was 26 years old.
Standing at 6’1” tall and weighing close to 300 pounds, McCarver finished first in the NPC Hub City Fitness Quest Junior Heavyweight category six years ago.
A member of the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness, McCarver was known as “Big Country” and had over 472,000 Instagram followers at the time of his passing.
According to McCarver’s girlfriend, WWE Superstar Dana Brooke, the bodybuilder was found unconscious Monday night by a friend at his home shortly after they spoke on the phone.
Brooke tells TMZ that McCarver told her he was about to make some dinner and that the final thing he said to her was:
“I love you. Goodbye.”
Brooke explains to the celebrity gossip site that McCarver died after choking on food… that there does not appear to be signs of foul play… and that there’s no indication McCarver was trying to harm himself.
He was in the gym working out just a few hours before the incident took place.
“We are shocked and saddened by this and pass our immediate thoughts and condolences to Dallas McCarver’s family and loved ones,” Tweeted RXMuscle.com in response to the sad news.
Just last year, McCarver placed eighth in the 2016 Mr. Olympia competition.
He was considered one of the sport’s brightest and youngest stars.
In March of this year, McCarver collapsed on stage at the 2017 Arnold Classic Australia, but there were no signs afterward of any long-term or significant health problems.
We don’t believe this fall played any role in his death.
We send our condolences to the family members, friends and loved ones of Dallas McCarver and we’ll update this story with more news at it breaks.
May he rest in peace.

Bodybuilder Mother of 2 Dies from... Protein Overdose?
Meegan Hefford, a mother of two from Australia, died last month after an overdosing on protein shakes, supplements and other protein-rich foods.
The story has gone viral due to the unusual reason behind Hefford’s tragic passing.
The 25-year-old from Mandurah, Australia was discovered post-mortem to have a urea cycle disorder, which blocks the body from correctly breaking down protein.
Prior to her death, Hefford was getting herself ready for a bodybuilding competition in September, consuming various protein supplements as part of her training, according to her her mother, Michelle White, per Perth Now.
Hefford had told her mom in June that she was feeling tired and “weird.”
Soon afterward, she was found unconscious in her apartment transported to the hospital, where she was declared brain-dead.
She passed away two days later.
Hefford, who had been competing as a bodybuilder since 2014, was ramping up her gym routine in the weeks before her death.
Her final cause of death was ruled an “intake of bodybuilding supplements” in addition to the undiagnosed illness, reports the aforementioned Australian publication.
“I said to her, ‘I think you’re doing too much at the gym, calm down, slow it down,” White said told the newspaper about her daughter.
By the time physicians diagnosed Hefford’s condition on June 19, the buildup of ammonia in her blood and fluid in her brain was too much for her to handle.
Her family is now calling for tighter restrictions on protein supplements.
White says she wasn’t aware her daughter was using protein shakes or supplements until after Hefford’s death, when she found half a dozen containers of protein shakes in her child’s kitchen.
White also says the supplements and shakes were purchased online where there are not enough restrictions, which is why she wants new legislation to be passed in this area.
“I know there are people other than Meegan who have ended up in hospital because they’ve overloaded on supplements,” White told Perth Now.
“The sale of these products needs to be more regulated.”
Hefford was studying paramedicine while working part-time at a hospital.
She leaves behind her two kids, a seven-year-old daughter and a five-year-old son.
“There was just no way of knowing she had [her illness] because they don’t routinely test for it,” said White. “She started to feel unwell, and she collapsed.”
What a tragic development.
May Meegan Hefford rest in peace.
