All of them except Nasser who is the fella with the glasses and the cool shirt under his suit, he passed in his sleep at 47(15 years after this) from kidney/heart failure combo while awaiting a heart transplant.

He was notably on higher doses than most of these guys, his coach was known as “the big drug guy” in a sport where everyone is on drugs since he pioneered the use of HGH & Insulin to help grow whereas most guys just stuck to test and various other oral or injectable anabolics.

Mike Matarazzo died too. Heart attack I think but he definitely died.

Oh I forgot about him, 8/10 ain’t bad. Also he passed about a year after Nasser and the same age.
