When you couple that with the tragedies being reported from last few months, it’s easy to say the year 2017 has proven to be one of the most difficult years for the bodybuilding & fitness community.

Here are the few deaths we have reported this year:

Sifiso Lungelo Thabethe

Sifiso Lungelo Thabeth passed away on August 5, 2017, at the age of 23.

Dallas McCarver

Dallas McCarver died after he apparently choked on his food at home. Some drama has hit the stage in March at the 2017 Arnold Classic Australia. Dallas McCarver has dropped out of the finals for the Arnold Classic Australia after earlier collapsing during the prejudging.

An autopsy report revealed, enlarged liver and kidneys, nephrosclerosis (a hardened liver), heavy lungs, and a papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Rich Piana passed away on August 25, 2017, at the age of 45.

Meegan Hefford

Meegan Hefford, a professional bodybuilder, and mother of two died after an overconsumption of protein shakes, supplements, and protein-rich foods. She was working hard in lead up to a bodybuilding competition, unaware she suffered from a rare genetic disorder which meant her body was unable to digest protein properly. Urea cycle disorder caused a build-up of ammonia in her bloodstream and fluid in her brain which ultimately led to lost brain function. Hefford was found unconscious in her apartment in West Australia and was quickly transported to the hospital, where she was declared brain-dead. Her final cause of death was ruled an “intake of bodybuilding supplements” in addition to the undiagnosed illness.

Meegan Hefford passed away on 22 June 2017 at the age of 25.

Michael Bekoev

Ukrainian bodybuilder Michael Bekoev died of a heart attack. He passed away on 19 July 2017 at the age of 54.
