Lots of growth hormone, a HUGE body to support, and a little too much partying were most likely how Rich passed so soon. He knew exactly what he was doing, he openly admitted the terrible risk he was taking and cautioned others against it "every positive has a negative"....those are his words. He knew the chance he took. So many hate him.....i respect him. At age 45 partying is hell on our body but if you weigh 300 pounds it's Russian roulette to party. His muscles were huge and his heart had to pump through all that mass. Poor guy just couldn't do it anymore. God bless him and the honesty/openness he brought to bodybuilding.
Rest in peace Rich
