    Can anyone confirm Nasser El Sonbaty's death?

    from what I've gathered knew you went to Egypt last month in contracted malaria while he was there and that exacerbated pre-existing problems that caused his kidneys to fail.

    All hearsay though since I can't find anything official... Just tweets and forum posts. He's only 48!

    Yeah I saw that, but anybody can edit wikipedia. Www.hugenasser.com didn't mention it. Just seems so unbelieveable malaria of all things! RIP big man if yrue. I have a friend that knows him. Says he is/was a real gentleman. Super nice guy. Shame.

    Kevin Levrone tweeted about it this morning but later retracted it, saying he would wait for more info before making a statement.

    MD forum says its confirmed, if they guy that posts as Shawn Ray really is Shawn Ray.

    Wow I can't believe this if it is true. He was one of the sport's greatest and smartest. Time will give us all the details eventually.

    Also, was it ever discovered if gh15 really was Nasser? A lot of people said/suspected he was. I guess we'll find out now.

    It is a sad day for sure. Nasser was a great friend of mine and played a very important role in the past 10 yrs. Although I just found out he died this morning. He actually died Wednesday in his sleep while visiting his parents in Germany. RIP You are gone but not forgotten!

    Confirmed. Lonnie Tepper @ Ironman Mag in an official published article today http://www.ironmanmagazine.com/blog/...ty-dead-at-47/

    dammit. He was one of the pros who inspired me when I was getting serious shit getting big in the mid 90's. Honorary Mr. O! Several times I think he had Dorian but in the end its the judges who decide. Gonna miss him.
