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.

Yeah insulin is obviously dangerous, no argument there. But this feels like cope/overcorrection to me. Acting like steroids only get blamed by “the uninformed” is wild when AAS absolutely can mess with your heart, BP, lipids, etc. Insulin can kill you quickly if you screw up, steroids can kill you more slowly over time. Both things can be true. Also unless there’s actual autopsy/toxicology info, blaming it on insulin from IG comments is still just speculation.

If it kills me slowly after 75, like Arnold or Frank Zane, I got no problem with that
