In 2017 Rich Piana, an American body builder and internet celebrity, suddenly died at the age of 46. Piana was not particularly successful as a competitive body builder, however, he became an internet sensation due to his massive body size and controversial videos about his long term anabolic steroid- and growth hormone abuse.
