MIKE MENTZER DIES OF HEART ATTACK — HIS BROTHER RAY FOUND DEAD THIS MORNING!
Mike Mentzer, legendary bodybuilding competitor and writer, died suddenly Saturday, June 9, of an apparent heart attack. Mentzer’s body was discovered by his younger brother Ray Mentzer Sunday in the apartment they shared in Redondo Beach, California. Then, in a shocking development, Ray Mentzer was found dead this morning, June 12. The cause of death has not been determined as of this time. We'll bring you more details of this developing story as soon as possible. Mike Mentzer was 49 years old. Ray Mentzer was 47.
According to John Balik, publisher of Ironman, where the elder Mentzer most recently worked, Mike had been in ill health lately and was contemplating treatment for his ongoing cardiac problems. In past interviews, Mike had mentioned that his family had a history of heart disease, and that his own father died relatively young from a heart condition.
Mentzer was the creator of the popular Heavy Duty training system, and his articles appeared for decades in many of Joe Weider’s publications. While he never won the Mr. Olympia, Mentzer was considered to have one of the greatest physiques of his time.
We’ll have much more on Mike and Ray Mentzer in a future issue of FLEX magazine.
 
For those of you that didn't know what he looked like

Dying before 50 of heart attack... AS?
A lot of people are going to assume that, even though he clearly had a family history of heart problems. Those of you that followed his articles, publications, etc. might have noticed that he was a brooding man who never seemed to have gotten over his loss to Arnold (who was well past his prime at that point) in the '80 Mr. O. I also understand he had a lot of difficulties with his personal life. Behavior (including psychological disposition) and genetics have sent many men to early graves with heart attacks, fit or not. I hope, at least here, the jump to blame AS is not made so hastily.
 
RIP Mike. You Should've won the 1980 Olympia. He's was my Fav BB and an inperation. Fucking guy had a nervous breakdown and made it to the top again.
 
This guy was so overlooked ......He had the physique most of us dream of.....So sad I owe my natural mass to him and his articles in many muscle magazines .....I always stressed stimulation size heavy .....See ya dude thanks .......and man I love arnold but u must admit that he was better than arnold in 1980
