Bodybuilder Dallas McCarver Dies, Apparently Choked On Food
Bodybuilding superstar Dallas McCarver -- aka "Big Country" -- has died after apparently choking on food at his Florida home, TMZ Sports has learned.
We spoke with McCarver's girlfriend, WWE superstar Dana Brooke, who says the 26-year-old was found unconscious just after midnight Tuesday morning by a friend at his home shortly after they spoke on the phone.
McCarver was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports there appears to be no signs of foul play.
Brooke says McCarver told her he was about to make dinner and the last thing he said to her was, "I love you. Goodbye."
Brooke says the cause of death is believed to be choking on food ... and it does not appear McCarver was trying to harm himself.

Damn. You guys hear it from time to time, and here it is again...

It's twice as sad. One he was way too young, and two he easily had potential to become Mr Olympia one day
The guy has pretty unreal genetics. Im looking at pics from his HS football yrs. Assuming he is around 18 or so in those pics. He won IFBB pro at 21...thats maybe 3 yrs to be as huge as he was. He wasnt much in his HS pics. That is mind boggling how he went from that to what we know him as.

Well in this video they said they had to remove the food from his air ways so idk could have choked idk if you can have a heart attack just chilling out. Or if it your heart needs to be stressed.
IFBB pro Josh Lenartowicz told 911 operator that he worried insulin may have had something to do with his collapse according to TMZ. The article also says Lenartowicz referenced McCarver's collapse at the 2017 Arnold Classic Australia in March 2017:
Dallas McCarver 911: 'There's Something In His Throat'
TMZ Sports has obtained the Dallas McCarver 911 call -- made by a friend who found the 26-year-old bodybuilder passed out in his apartment ... after apparently choking on food.
The friend tried like hell to help McCarver -- performing CPR and other lifesaving maneuvers -- but he wasn't able to bring him back.
The friend says McCarver had been taking Insulin -- and suggested he may have collapsed because of a medical condition related to the medicine, which usually treats diabetes.
McCarver had collapsed onstage at a bodybuilding event back in March. It seems the friend believes McCarver may have experienced a similar situation while eating, which led to the fatal choking episode.
McCarver was transported to a nearby hospital and was pronounced dead early Tuesday morning.

There suggesting McCarver was a type 2 diabetic?
No, they're explaining to readers that the drug is typically used to treat diabetes.
Why else would his friend believe he collapsed due to a medical condition related to insulin?
