Chad Brothers was a bodybuilder with increased muscle mass. He had 240 pounds. His unusual manner, cardiopulmonary arrest and sudden death in October, 2011 have been widely discussed in various articles in magazines, newspapers and internet. It was claimed that this bodybuilder had come to the Gold’s Gym in Latham, Albany. Chad Brothers was very aggressive and began to attack other people who were training in the gym. When police arrived, there were certain attempts to calm him. Since the bodybuilder refused to subdue, a police officer had to apply a Taser, an electroshock weapon, for this need. Chad Brothers suffered of a cardiac arrest and died.
It was found out by the post-mortem toxicology that anabolic steroids had been presented in the system of the bodybuilder. No one can doubt that this factor caused appearance of different articles which told readers that anabolic steroids had led to his death. But an important nuance was not noted. Numerous authors of articles connected with Brothers’ death did it intentionally; others did it because they hadn’t known about it. Phencyclidine (PCP) that is called “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 cursed anabolic steroids for death of this bodybuilder. Only such individuals that had looked for additional information could find out that not only anabolic steroids were presented in Chad Brothers’ system.
The police official Steven Heider was interviewed by FOX 23 News. This official said 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. “Angel dust” has got anesthetic, dissociative and hallucinogenic characteristics. However anabolic steroids are damned for aggressiveness and sudden death of Chad Brothers, PCP might have played a significant role in his unusual behavior and death.
