Lifting heavy enough can do all sorts of damage. Eddie Hall, a British Strongman holds the WR for the heaviest deadlift ever, something around 1121 lbs. He doesn't remember that loft because he blew out some blood vessels in his brain during the lift, basically giving himself a concussion. So, weird shit happens with super heavy weight lifting.
It's also known that packing on weight and muscle mass long term like these guys do isn't healthy for the cardiovascular system, either. There have been guys that have died fairly young from heart attacks that weren't steroid users, and that was happening long before COVID came around.
Whether this was steroid related or not remains to be seen. Either one at, it's a tragic loss. Dude was a beast.
