I have an odd feeling there may be a connection:

http://espn.go.com/mma/story/_/id/16009900/kimbo-slice-dies-age-42

"He last fought at Bellator 149 on Feb. 19 in Houston. He defeated Dhafir Harris, aka Dada5000, in a three-round decision. The result was later changed to a no-contest by the Texas commission, after Slice tested positive for anabolic steroids and an elevated testosterone ratio."

Unfortunately bigger people tend to be more susceptible to heart issues even at younger ages. RIP
