RIP Victor (Vic) Richards

Once a body builder hits 40 he should be checking in with a cardiologist every few years for a complete workup.

It's no longer a surprise anymore, it's the new normal.
 
Sure, steroids and other PEDs are one thing that everyone will talk about but there are so many possible factors. The most important is probably overall body size regardless of how it was achieved. Steroids can obviously contribute to larger muscle mass as well as other independent cardiovascular risk factors.
 
I don't think he was in beast mode towards the end of his life.

Honestly 56 years old isn't technically young, it's entirely possible you could die from natural causes at 56......by natural I mean typical American with plugged up arteries via crap diet.
 
Dave Palumbo what's up with his cheeks?

I've seen guys with that kind of face taking HIV drugs that cause a loss of facial fat.
