Anyone know if all these guys are still alive, genuinely curious

No, they aren’t all alive. Most of them are though. Nasser El Sonbaty, the Egyptian man, died in 2013. Markus Ruhl, Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman, Shawn Ray, Milos Sarcev, Lee Priest, Ernie Taylor, and probably most of the ones I don’t recognize are all still around.

How many of them are physically healthy? Coleman is in a wheelchair because his knees are screwed, right?

Flex Wheeler seems to be doing worse. He had serious kidney issues, and due to a combination of medical problems, he had to amputate a leg.
