The bodybuilding world has been flooded with speculation and theories on what led to the death of George, but until an autopsy is made, the cause of death cannot be confirmed.
In an long Instagram post, Justin Miller explained that he is still in shock after losing his best friend.
“I’m in shock. I’m scared. I’m sad. I’m in disbelief. Freaked out. I’m completely devasted. My hands are trembling as I type this. It feels like a nightmare…but at the same time I know its real.
Ricky @new_england_muscle_media and I just cleaned out George’s room to bring his belongings home to his mom and sister. We are so freaked out….Im literally shaking. Can’t stop my hands from shaking. Haven’t cried yet…just still in shock.
Here is what we know. George looked amazing! Felt amazing! He was so inspiring last night. Said things both on and off camera that gave Ricky and I chills. He was so on point mentally and physically. George was energetic, strong lifting the whole gym last night. Inspired. Passionate. Focused. The best version of George at any contest both mentally and physically I have ever seen.
I went to amateur prejudging early this morning while Ricky worked on the next episode to put it out before tomorrow’s press conference.
I arrived back at noon and couldn’t reach George. He wouldn’t answer his door. We got a security guard to open his room and we found him face down mostly cold. Called 911 and followed their instructions did chest compressions until more security came and took over CPR, followed minutes later by the EMT’s.
They couldn’t save him….apparently it had been several hours he was gone. I pleaded them to keep trying but eventually they talked me down saying hes been gone for awhile.
I have hundreds of messages and I heard there are reports out in social media of it but I haven’t looked yet.
I don’t know what to do or say.
George was my closest friend. I can’t believe he’s gone. I just can’t believe it.
We dont know what happened.
Heart attack? Stroke? We don’t know and won’t know until his autopsy is completed.
He looked and felt healthy and was in great spirits.
I was going to disable comments for obvious reasons and trolls and I may still…but for now I will able them.
Please be respectful of this great man and his family.
I wish I knew what to say.
Please keep his soul and his family in your prayers.
I love you George!
I’ll live with you in my heart for the rest of my days on this Earth.” – Justin Miller.
Who is responsible for George’s death?
How will the Olympia Weekend organizers or NPC/Pro League handle this situation?
