The expected cause of death for Bostin Loyd
Bostin Loyd is said to have died of a heart attack. With his past health difficulties, additional underlying conditions probably contributed to his myocardial infarction. Throughout his career, the 29-year-old bodybuilder had controversial views on steroids and was open to his usage of biologically active drugs. Loyd was one of the first competitive bodybuilders to reveal their drug cycle combined with workouts to get such a physique.
Bostin Loyd had kidney failure after using a steroid known as a peptide. The bodybuilder was diagnosed with stage five renal failure in October 2020. He earlier said that he had been treated with recovery peptides, Gluthithione, and stem cell treatment but that his advanced condition had not improved much. He was also being considered for dialysis.
Loyd went to Facebook two days before his death, writing:
“I’m taking it day by day.” My statistics continue to deteriorate. I have good days and terrible days (mostly good). Despite the fact that my bloodwork results continue to worsen, I feel better today than I did when I was originally diagnosed.”
Loyd launched a complete steroid cycle after winning the N.P.C. Contra Costa at 21. He claimed to be the first pro-bodybuilder to provide such information.
Following his untimely demise, many people have expressed condolences to Bostin Loyd’s family.
Following his death, countless tweets paid respect to the late bodybuilder. While some mentioned his controversy, the majority of tweets praised his charisma. His son Jaxtin directed a message intended for him on his partner’s Instagram profile. He penned:
“I shall miss you every day, Dad.” I adore you. R.D.P.”
