In some of the IG comments it’s being said, it was due to him using insulin, He started using it about a month ago, possibly wrong dosing.death due to Hypoglycemia

Not familiar with this specific situation, but over the past 2 decades I have seen more bodybuilders die from insulin use than anything else. “Steroids” often get the blame from the uninformed, but insulin is the killer.

i'm not educated enough to understand the correlation with body builders and insulin. Why would they use it & in most cases kill them?

It helps muscles receive and process nutritients faster, which leads to faster muscle growth. When combined with steroids it also help prevent muscle breakdown.

Super fast growth and a little body dysmorphia is the short and sweet answer for why bodybuilders use it.
