Jesse Marunde, a great American Strongman, has died at the early age of 28.  He died on July 25th of a heart attack after a workout. He leaves behind a Wife and children.

No one yet knows what complications existed in his case that led to his death. Unlike so many Strongman competitors, he was fairly lean, and was very fit. Periodically in the world of sports, an athlete dies because of a previously undiagnosed heart condition or other ailment. Only time will tell what happened to Jesse.   An  autopsy  is  scheduled, but it will take potentially months to get the results.  I’ll keep you posted.

I wish his family the best.

Rest in Peace.
