Andreas Münzer (October 25, 1964 – March 14, 1996) was an Austrian professional bodybuilder known for his extremely low body fat levels and early death.
He attempted to imitate Schwarzenegger, eventually meeting his hero at the Arnold Classic competition in 1996.
While competing, he used a variety of ergogenic aids, such as anabolic steroids,[1] including large amounts of potassium-sparing diuretics, possibly leading to his death in 1996.
By 7pm, doctors had decided to operate to stop bleeding from his stomach, but his liver and kidneys failed shortly afterwards.
[4] Some of the specific autopsy findings were an extremely muscular physique with an almost complete absence of subcutaneous fat, a liver that contained numerous table tennis ball-sized tumors (with half the liver consisting simply of a crumbly mass that was similar to polystyrene), shriveled testes, and cardiac hypertrophy (Münzer's heart weighed 636g; a normal man's heart usually weighs 300–350g).
