Pro Bodybuilder John Meadows suffers heart attack.
UPDATE 8 August, 2021 – Bodybuilding world shocked with the sudden death of John Meadows – Click HERE
We cannot get a break in 2020 with all the negativity surrounding the sport of bodybuilding and fitness.
Just a few days ago, Luke Sandoe, one of the most popular bodybuilders passed away at the young age of 33 and now we get the news that Pro Bodybuilder John Meadows has been admitted to hospital.
Mary Meadows, John’s wife, confirmed that John suffered a heart attack via his official Facebook page.
The cause could be because of a blood clotting disorder.
The post in full:
“This is Mary, John has suffered a heart attack today. His blood vessels appear to be fine. Potentially a clotting disorder with his blood. He is in the hospital now. Please keep him in your prayers. Thank you!” – Mary Meadows.
John has stepped away from the contest stage, but that has not kept him away from the sport of bodybuilding. John has become one of the top coaches in the industry.
Fouad Abiad also left a post on his official Instagram page:
We at Evolutionofbodybuilding.net pray for John to have a speedy recovery and back to enjoying time with his family.
