The official autopsy report reveals “sudden cardiac dysrhythmia due to hypertensive cardiovascular disease” as the cause of bodybuilder George Peterson’s sudden demise before 2021 Olympia. The 37-year-old bodybuilder shockingly passed away on October 6th, 2021, right before 2021 Olympia started. The medical examiner on the case also stated that anabolic steroid use was a contributory factor and concluded that the manner of death was natural. The news was first published by TMZ Sports.

The autopsy report obtained by TMZ also noted that anabolic steroids Boldenone and Stanozolol were present in George Peterson’s system. The report also mentions that George Peterson’s heart was enlarged to 500gms and had thickened papillary muscles and chordate tendineae.

Studies have shown that long-term steroid use can enlarge the heart. While that in itself is not a disease, it does put a person at greater risk of contracting cardiovascular diseases, heart attacks, and strokes. This could be the reason that the medical examiner attributed steroid use as the contributing factor in George Peterson’s death. As per the Generation Iron, The medical examiner’s report concluded as follows:

 “In consideration of the circumstances surrounding the death, and after examination of the body and toxicology analysis, it is my opinion that the death of George Peterson, a 37-year-old black male, is the result of a sudden Dysrhythmia due to hypertensive cardiovascular disease. A contributory factor is anabolic steroid use (Boldenone and Stanozolol). The manner of death is natural.”

    Does anyone know if he had the vaccine shot. I know a few people that died from similar symptoms except the part about the steroids.

    Every body builder who does they blame steroids causing an enlarged heart. Are you f** kidding me?! You know what else is “enlarged”?! EVERY F*** THING.
    An “enlarged heart” is not only NORMAL but necessary for a body builder. If the heart was “normal” size, it wouldn’t be able to pump enough blood needed to oxygenate the “enlarged” muscles.

    Fucking morons.
