Bodybuilding legend Cedric McMillan dies at age 44

Bodybuilding legend Cedric McMillan died Tuesday at the age of 44, according to his sponsor, Black Skull USA. 

"We regret to inform you that our friend and brother @cedricmcmillan passed away today," Black Skull USA said in a statement. "Cedric will be greatly missed as an athlete, comrade, friend, and father. Our prayers are with all his family and friends. He 'fought the good fight' and now he rests.
 

Multiple outlets, including Generation Iron, reported the news.

According to Generation Iron, McMillan suffered a heart attack while on a treadmill.

McMillan, who was also a staff sergeant in the United States Army and an instructor at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, competed in several high-profile bodybuilding competitions, winning the 2017 Arnold Classic.

He placed as high as seventh in two Mr. Olympia competitions in 2016 and 2019. 
McMillan withdrew from the 2022 Arnold Classic due to injury. In the past two years, he contracted COVID-19 and was seriously injured in a bike accident, keeping him from entering the Mr. Olympia competition in 2020.

 

He told Generation Iron that he was put on life support after struggling to come back from COVID, which led to him developing pneumonia and heart issues.

"I was almost dead," he said. "My wife was with me, but I was outta here, seriously. But I didn't see no white light. I was that close."

I’m assuming “died from the disease of mental illness” means suicide or overdose

I loved Remo Williams when I was a kid. I wonder if it still holds up.

Tremors is one of the most under appreciated movies ever made.

I have Richard Blade’s book sitting on a shelf in my office. I need to crack that thing open. It’s title comes from a Depeche Mode song.
