    I'm gonna check it on my home computer. I can't find it on the site maybe because it's bringing up the iPhone version of the page.

    he died at 104?

    good on him for getting that far

    sad to see the way he died

    but at same time glad to see people of this size and strength live to this age aswell

    sick of seeing big strong men and bodybuilders die at late 30s to early 50s, just scares me

    would have been very interesting to see how long he would have lived naturally. Amazing strength especially for being over 100 years old
