One of the Bodybuilders some of us saw in Nottingham this weekend Dave Talbot has died of a heart attack .

Pretty shocking , he was one of the BB I had seen in The Beef and was glad to see there .

I remember talking to rilla about one Bb who looked slow and lethargic and I have a feeling it was him

RIP

Saw this on UK Earlier. Shocking.

Just goes to show how dangerous this can be and people should take care of themselves

From what I've read, he started having blood shot eyes 2 weeks from the show and didn't want to go to the doctor (probably was affraid of not going to the show). Tha can be a sign of very high blood pressure. All the stress from the show, the poses and the feeding after the show must have been the final drop on his heart.

Very sad, still it serves as a warning to people.

I knew Big Dave and have previously trained at Daves gym.He was well known and liked in all the gyms I have used and everyone is in shock,RIP Dave.

blimey - makes you want to put things into perspective - very sad

I seen him on the Saturday morning and then again after the show on either Saturday night or Sunday night. My god i have never seen eyes as bloody as that. the werot blod shotm they were totally bloody at each side of the pupil on the outside. He didnt looka well man. We are al pretty much suffering at points but he looked ill

Here he is on SUnday Post show

does pain to see why people didnt shake him by the cuff and tell him to get to the Drs. the red in the outside of the eyes in that pic says it all....just zoom in

Seriously, people need to start looking out for each other in this game...more forcefully. being in a coffin is not worth a trophy.....sad loss.

I was thinking that last night.

You'd think at the Brit finals there could be a Doctor on hand to and least look at people....

Simon - this is what we call "brotherhood of iron" crap that comes across - not in this case - but a general comment

Perhaps a doctor or nurse at hand for the weigh in to have a quick word and look at competitors? Honestly..one look at him and you knew he wasnt right.

Bloody shame but i can understand how nomatter what anybody would have told him he was gonan do the show. He has probably put donkeys eyars into it and being in that condition above felt it was maybe his chance at a good place - which he got.

a sport where you are dying to look good- literally
r.i.p. to the guy, no man is an island (unless they are a true orphan) and he obviously will leave behind family- v sad.

A guy in my new gym works for the coroner and he said to me this morning that the post mortem has revealed that Daves liver weighed in at 22lbs! Dunno if hes exaggerated that but it makes you wonder at the state of his internal organs. Apparently a few guys that knew Dave said he wasnt feeling right and told him to pull out but he refused as he wanted to compete so bad.

22lbs!!!!!???!

So he said Capes,seems a bit excessive to me but I'm no expert.
