Art Atwood - lahkus 37 aasta vanuselt!

[Ott Kiivikas 817]

Nonii järjekordne kunagine tipp proff on siit ilmast lahkunud ja seda jällegi väga noorelt 37 aasta vanuselt....Samas on mehe taust ka jällegi kriminaalne nagu paljudel IFBB pro-del.

Arthur Dale Atwood died today in Dallas, Texas. He was 37 years old. The circumstances of his death are still unclear. Although, there have been several sources that have said that Art was at a pool party and fell or jumped in. When he was pulled out by fellow party-goers he was already blue and wasn't able to be resuscitated. Until the autopsy is performed, we can't know if any substances or alcohol was involved.

Art won his IFBB pro card at the 2001 NPC Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia. His professional bodybuilding debut was the 2001 Toronto Pro where he took 1st place, joining an elite club of pro bodybuilders who won their first pro show. His first IFBB Mr. Olympia came in 2002, where he placed a respectable 12th. During the span of his career, Art competed in 19 shows as a pro bodybuilder, and retired from the stage in 2006.

Atwood was arrested in 2008 in connection with Operation Raw Deal. His arrest was also tied in with the arrest of David Jacobs, who later killed IFBB Fitness Pro Amanda Savell and then turned the gun on himself.

Since his arrest Art started Professional Supplements (http://www.professionalsupplements.net/) and was responsible for bringing Vitargo to the United States. Professional Supplements and Atwood’s main product, Karbolyn, have become very popular and the growth of his company and his reputation as a businessman had recently surged. He was also highly regarded as a contest prep coach, helping IFBB Pros Steve Kuclo, Jason Huh, and many others. Art also ran and owned a nutrition store and tanning salon called, Results Dallas.

Art Atwood was one of the first IFBB Pro bodybuilders I was fortunate enough to have an extended conversation with. When we met, I was surprised by his modesty, honesty, and the friendly manner in which he spoke to me... A regular fan. Since our first meeting, Art reinforced those initial impressions every time we had a chance to interact. Art’s death is a horrible loss for his family, friends, and the bodybuilding world as a whole. He will be missed.

*More details to follow as they come in.

Njaa, kahju muidugi. Lahkunutest halba ei räägita, aga keskkoht oli tal selline et... pane piimapudel vöö vahele ja võib külmkapiga segi ajada.

Kahju jah, et nii noorelt lahkutakse. Äkki sai südame infarkti? Keha aetakse steroididega suureks aga süda jääb sama suureks. Peab 2 x rohkem tööd tegema.

Loomulikult on keha suures stressis kui mega doosides testosterooni, kasvuhormooni, insuliini, rasvapõletajaid ja teab mis paska veel sisse aetakse.

Üks endine anonüümne proff on öelnud, et eks neid hakkab lähitulevikus massiliselt ennem õiget aega surema.

Kuskil kirjutati, et uppus ära.

Olen Milehigh'ga nõus.

Lisa sinna veel narkootikumid, ja ehk pakuti peol alkoholigi... Väike südamerike bassus ja ongi uppunud:)

Oli ikka koll küll. Kui keegi tema surmast midagi täpsemat teab, siis võib siin natuke valgustada.

I spoke with Steven Salmon today, business partner of the late Art Atwood.

He called MD to set the record straight on a few things being said about the passing of Art.

Steven advised, “Sunday, at about 2:30PM, Art was walking through the pool area of his residence when he had a massive heart attack.

We are not sure if he was going for a swim or just passing through the area, but he was not at a party. He was at the pool area of the condo where he lives.

Two residents who were at the pool saw him fall in and immediately pulled him out. They were able to revive him and get the paramedics, but it was too late. The damage had already been done.”

I asked Steven if Art died there or on the way to the hospital. He said he was unsure, because those details had not been released. He will update us further as the story develops.

Art is survived by both of his parents, a brother and a sister. He will be buried in Wisconsin.

A candle light vigil will be held at his home in Dallas the weekend after the Olympia.

Steven also advised that Art's business, Pro Supplements, will carry on with business as usual, keeping Art's vision alive.

We will continue to update you as information becomes available.

Newest information from Steven:

"Art died at the hospital.

The coroner’s report shows that he died of heart attack.

He unknowingly suffered a minor heart attack about a month ago. As it turns out, heart disease does run in his family."
