I can't believe Paul Demayo died from a drug overdose...

[GTC]

I was searching for photos of him to post in the "over-rated and under-rated bodybuilders" thread and learned that he passed away in 2005.
It's sad, what a ****in waste. I thought he had one of the most aesthetically pleasing physiques in bodybuilding, huge quads and unbelievable calves.
How could someone go from being a successful bodybuilder who takes extremely good care of themselves end up taking that poison and throw their life down the toilet? Very sad.

This is his contest history I copied from some site-

"Paul's Contest History includes the 1988 NPC Junior USA HeavyWeight 7th; 1989 NPC Junior Nationals HeavyWeight 4th; 1990 NPC Junior Nationals HeavyWeight 3rd; 1991 NPC Junior Nationals Heavyweight 1st & Overall Winner; 1991 NPC HeavyWeight 3rd; 1992 NPC Nationals HeavyWeight 4th; 1993 NPC USA Championships HeavyWeight 3rd; 1994 NPC Nationals Heavyweight 1st & Overall Winner; 1994 IFBB Mr. Olympia 12th; 1995 IFBB Grand Prix England 10th; 1995 IFBB Grand Prix Germany 9th; 1995 Grand Prix Spain 9th "

I think it can't be helped for this type of athlete to be at this level without drog ... unfortunately

well, if you go for the big muscles and are ready to take in what it takes to be on the top, you should be aware of the risks. i stopped admiring these heman-creatures quite a while ago, since i appreciate bodybuilding more as a healthy lifestyle...

They arent talking about him using steroids there talking about his heroin overdose...
