Jesse Marunde drops dead at age 27

[Quiksilver]

Worlds strongest man.

I know this is a bit late, but it was kept pretty quiet and the family didn't want much publicity. Had no idea until I did a search on him today.

Apparently he dropped dead from a heart attack after a high rep squat set.

Great athlete, great father, pretty much just a great man.

Spectacular video.. No one should have to die at that age, least of all a true champion like him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-YuI1bYmdI

I think this is a good time to say that this forum is dedicated to Health and Fitness. In that order.

Damn man that sucks.

Reminds me of that one young soccer player.

I don't remember the guy's name but he had shoulder length blonde hair and just had a heart attack out on the field and died instantly.

If he's the kid that was on MTV True Life, I feel really bad now.

NVM, now I see who it is. He almost beat MP in the strongest man comp lately. Sorry to hear.

rip Marunde. I hope his family will be alright. Anyone know if he had previous complications that could have aroused his cod or was it just the workout? And p.s. his form brings a second tear to my eyes, so good =). My condolences.
