The bodybuilding community is in a state of mourning yet again, as another athlete has been taken from us prematurely. This time, it is Figure bodybuilding competitor Mikayla Kingman, who was tragically found dead at the young age of 23 years old.

At such a young age, Mikayla already proved herself to be an incredibly promising talent in female bodybuilding. She was not the most active competitor, starting her career as a teen bikini athlete. However 2017 saw her win the NPC Jay Cutler Classic in the Figure division, scoring three first-place finishes, with two overall wins.

Unfortunately it appears that Mikayla Kingman was found dead on May 10th, with her cause of death having been determined as suicide. This came shortly after what would be her final post to Instagram. In hindsight, it is clear to see that she was battling some serious demons at the time.

This heartbreaking news comes shortly after another bodybuilder succumbed to his own mental illness. Luke Sandoe also took his own life, at the age of just 30 years old. This was another shocking blow to the community, that was not seen coming.

As for Mikayla, this news is especially tragic given how young she was. Of course, the difficulties of mental health issues knows no age limit. However that does nothing to stop the hurt that is caused by such a senseless tragedy as losing this young lady.

    The problem is this: unfortunately the very people who are involved in our sport are the very people seeking approval from the very people who are unfortunately and uniformly incapable of giving approval to anyone. As a corollary, it is also a sport where the competitors in the sport, particularly the women, tend to age very rapidly. P.E.D.’s are rampant. The only issue is not what – but how much. It is indeed a myth that this sport is about health and longevity. It is not. This event, albeit tragic beyond either recognition or redemption, should not come as a shock to anyone; but, as an expected reality to everyone intimately involved in making it a practice to advertise gear enhanced weight lifting records. R.I.P. girl you deserved far better!
