Chad Brothers was a bodybuilder with increased muscle mass. His weight was 240 pounds. His unusual manner, cardiac arrest and sudden death in October, 2011 have been widely discussed in numerous articles in magazines, newspapers and internet. It was said that this person had come to the Gold’s Gym in Latham, Albany. Chad Brothers was extremely aggressive and started to attack other people who were training in the gym. When police came, there were numerous attempts to calm him. Since the bodybuilder refuted to subdue, a police officer had to use a Taser, an electroshock weapon, for this need. The bodybuilder suffered of a cardiopulmonary arrest and died.
It was found out by the post-mortem toxicology that anabolic steroids had been presented in the system of Chad Brothers. Undoubtedly, this factor led to appearance of various articles which told readers that anabolic steroids had been responsible for his death. But a significant factor was not noted. Some authors of articles related to death of this bodybuilder did it intentionally; others did it unknowingly. Phencyclidine (PCP) that is known as “angel dust” was also presented.
Cecilia Logue, spokesperson for David Soares of the Albany County District Attorney’s Office and articles of the Times-Union blamed anabolic steroids for death of this bodybuilder. Only such individuals that had looked for additional information knew out that not only anabolic steroids were presented in Brothers’ system.
The police official Steven Heider was interviewed by FOX 23 News. This official pointed out that both steroids and PCP were identified by the post-mortem toxicology.
While anabolic steroids are a Schedule III Controlled Substances, PCP is a Schedule II Controlled Substance. Phencyclidine has anesthetic, dissociative and hallucinogenic properties. However anabolic steroids are blamed for abnormal behavior and sudden death of Chad Brothers, Phencyclidine might have played a significant role in his abnormal behavior and death.
