Rich Piana in a medically induced coma!

ad

I can't validate the truth of this story since it comes from TMZ guys and it was also on generation iron and a few other websites touting TMZ as their source! So far, it was from an apparent drug overdose!
He pushed the limits in all aspects of his life and was probably a ticking time bomb!
Regardless, we should keep him in our thoughts and prayers for all life is precious and its loss tragic!
Guaranteed the media will blame his outspoken anabolic use to this tragedy!

How is he a phony?

Ok so I had someone tell me that this is a pr stunt because he has some new generation iron movie coming out and its believable because of tmz breaking the story and then only shady online news srcs commenting.
He might actually have hurt himself if so I hope he gets better but with the timing and tmz being involved and no update from tmz about it i believe that tmz got played by his team about this.

Who knows, could very well be! Very suspicious that their are only speculative stories abounding and nothing secure and solid! Thanks for the update brother!

helloBrooklyn's picture

Wouldn't that directly contradict his no-bullshit philosophy? I would expect someone like Jason Blaha to do that shit, not Rich.

For a sec I thought he might drop a new supplements line

Theophany's picture

Thanks for the update brother! And I'm happy to hear he is doing well God damn it! Lol

This was an update by the 5% Team

Earlier this week, Rich Piana, known for his honesty and leadership in the bodybuilding community was hospitalized. Rich’s condition is improving each day while he is in recovery.

Thanks for the update brother Flapjack! You've been awesome! :))

Theophany's picture

Thank you very much guys for keeping me in the loop! Their appears to be conflicting reports so let's just hope for the best and keep Rich and his family in our thoughts and prayers!
Luimarco did post a vid saying he passed away but the source where he recieved his information apologized for the error!

helloBrooklyn's picture

Oh boy. I'm only seeing speculation, no official news reports. Really hope he isn't dead.

"Family sources tell us Piana pass away at 10:30 PM ET at Florida hospital tonight and his doctors declared him brain dead after going into induced coma.
The former pro bodybuilder has competed and won several bodybuilding competitions over the years including Mr. California and has become an Instagram sensation, racking up more than 1 million followers.
As we reported emergency personnel responded to a possible overdose call at Piana’s home on Monday afternoon. When they arrived, Piana was unresponsive and was transported to a nearby hospital where he was placed into a medically induced coma"

(DDN magazine.)

Fake news, as Trump would call it.

Theophany's picture

Exactly brother Brooklyn! I'm almost certain this was the source that Luimarco cited and the same source that apologized for the error!
That being said, a thank you to brother Staimaster who was trying to keep us informed and updated as to the situation!

I dont like him but I wish him all the best!

Hopefully dudes alright. I watched a lot of his videos and the dude puts real truth out there. Seems like a good guy and you never want to see anything bad happen to someone.

helloBrooklyn's picture

I like Rich. Glad he seems to be alright

Goodfella1118's picture

My prayers are with him , rich tells it all like it is , I respect his honesty and enjoy watching his videos . Good luck bro !

Generator's picture

I don't follow Piana much but I respect his work ethic and the fact that he gets down to the core of the matter. Anyone willing to tell it like it is has my deep respect. Godspeed brother.

He is okay and it wasnt a drug overdose. I spoke with them earlier. All is well. He will do a video when he recovers

Agreed brother Rusty! Very sad to see this happen! Rich did live a life of extremes!

mobman702's picture

I have met big Rich a few times and I can say, truly a super good guy who was all about his
fans and followers at his booths when attending a expo. Never shy about talking to anyone
on any issue bc it didnt matter to him. He treated all equal from what I saw and heard. I pray
for Rich and Chanel for a full recovery and back to himself.. He is looked at by many as an Icon
in this industry. God Bless you Rich..

Theophany's picture

Very well said brother Mobman! He and his family are in my thoughts and prayers for a full recovery!
You're a good man brother, much respect!

mobman702's picture

Thanks brother Theo.. We have the same mentality in this industry when it comes to certain
issues etc.. Its the respect factor we share alike and not affraid to say or show it..
Peace always to you and yours my good friend..

Theophany's picture

And Peace always to you and your loved ones also brother Mobman!

Greengravity's picture

Sad to hear, I hope it's positive news on his recovery next.

Theophany's picture

X2 brother! I'm going to keep an eye out!

twistedsister's picture

Damn I know I'll catch flack for this but I actually like Rich hopefully it's not true good dude imo

twistedsister's picture

Just some of the shit he said you know and the fact that YouTube and stuff reachs a younger crowd but what really got my respect was his story about how his buddy died from slin and him putting it out there to never fuck with it probably saved some lives & he's straight foward
