Oh my bad, didn't get what he was saying thanks for the clarification.

It's sad to see such a young man go. R.I.P

I wish the best for his family and friends.

R.I.P. Heath, such a tragic loss.

Very heartbreaking story and so young. So unfortunate.

I hope this was not the reason he is deceased:


People really don't understand the ramifications of steroid use.
I will reserve further comment about him and steroid use until the autopsy comes back. You hate to give that kind of speculation unless his name is Barry Bonds.

Doubt steroids killed him that young, who knows if he could've been combining drugs or really anything else that may have happened.

It may sound uncommon for people to die from steriod use, but it does happen. The heart doesn't always take whatever you give it.
Like I said, not sure if that was the cause or not...in fact, does anyone have a link to the results from the autopsy?

Could agree more. Anything that significantly changes body function has to be suspect and few things change it more than steroid use (positively and negatively).

No one should jump to conclusions, but this is a forum for open discussion and any discussion outside of how tragic it is could not exclude the genuine possibility.

I hope it's true, it would be horrible to find out if it was because of roids.
