To all of you who still view the board - my favorite bodybuilder of all time and one of the greatest who ever lived, Franco Columbu, died on 08/30/2019 at 78 years old.
He was Arnold Schwarzenegger's best friend, had won Mr. Olympia twice, competed in the Worlds Strongest Man several times, and set many powerlifting records during his career. As time went on, he and Arnold had several businesses together and remained friend until his final day. Franco became a chiropractor and nutritionist, ultimately writing many books and helping many people to achieve their goals.
On his last day alive, he went swimming at the beach while back home in San Teodoro, Sardinia, Italy. While swimming, he suffered a heart attack and drowned. A terrible end for someone who deserved much better.
Although the bright side is, he died doing what he loved, physical fitness.
He will be missed!
Good lord, that’s a horrible way to go... RIP man.
Still has one of the worst injuries in strongman history, but he did it with a fridge on his back so it’s still badass.
