Death
A few months after the 2002 World's Strongest Man Championship, Perry died abruptly on November 21, 2002, from heart failure due to enormous size caused by steroid use. He was ranked fourth in the world by the International Federation of Strength Athletes at the time of his death.[3] My husband Johnny Wade Perry Jr died from injecting cocaine and oxycodone. Why does everyone want to lie? My granddaughters need to know the truth.
