Is Mike Mentzer really dead or is this just more rumors that is associated with him? Mike is an inspiration to many bodybuilders and if this is true then he will be missed. If it is true RIP brother.

i read on another board, the IART board, the founder used to be very close to Mike (but as of lately is a mortal enemy since he picked out holes in his methods) that the cause of death was a stroke or heart attack from what he understood. looks to be true, this is tragic indeed.
