[Stonecold54]

just got word he died at age 39....He was a powerlifer for those who didn't know him. I don't see any news stories of it yet.

39?! Jeezus...was it heart related or an accident?

[CreepingDeath]

I "heard" it was a heart attack....no official word that Ive noticed yet. Thats too damn young though either way, rest in peace brother :(

I was reading on another website that just about every year someone starts saying that he was dead. Who knows? Here is part of the interview form two years ago!.............

Speaking of being alive, how do you feel every year you hear that you died? - I die laughing. Matter of fact, tell you the truth, Peter Thorn just told me, you know, I was speaking to Peter, he say's I just talked to someone and you just died. I say's, no he can't be dead because I just talked to him. I said, it kind of humors me. But I guess if people want me dead, that's just the way it is, you know? But I am alive and still lifting.

Apparently Anthony started feeling bad early this morning and went to the hospital. He started having some trouble with his pacemaker. Then it quit and he had a heart attack. The got a hear beat back again and then his kidneys shut down this afternoon. I will post tomorrow the details of his funeral.

When I was in high school he came to lift and speak. Seems like a stand up guy. Damn shame. What was he doing with a pace maker at 39 though?
