RIP. This dude had a great shape.
On February 27, 2007, Arti Media, a body building photography studio that had worked with Sager, released this statement:
"It is our deepest sorrow to announce that one of the most outstanding and recognized models in the bodybuilding and fitness industry, Rob Sager, has passed away this weekend due to heart failure, We have had the pleasure and honor of working with Rob during his flourishing years and valued him not just as a model, but also as a good friend."
Weeks earlier, family and friends reported Sager had complained his heart was skipping... it was suggested that his family had a history of heart problems. In the after math of his death, many well-wishers have expressed their sorrow for the loss of such a great person, but there was very little explanation behind his sudden death.
While there has been speculation that a combination of steroid abuse that caused an enlarged heart and stimulants used to reduce body fat placed too much strain on his heart and caused cardiac arrest, doctors aren't able to offer any real answers. Sager's family has offered thanks to concerned fans, but have not revealed any other details about his death.
