 Bodybuilder Rich Piana Had 20 Bottles of Steroids During Medical Emergency 
 
 EXCLUSIVE 
 
 Bodybuilding superstar Rich Piana had 20 bottles of steroids in his home at the time of his medical emergency ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports. 
 
 Cops were called to Piana's Florida home at 1:30 PM on Monday after the 46-year-old social media sensation suddenly collapsed in his bathroom while getting a haircut from his girlfriend, Chanel. 
 
 Piana's girlfriend says she tried to catch the former Mr. California bodybuilding champ when he collapsed but couldn't due to his massive size and weight. Chanel told officials Piana struck his head during the fall. 
 
 The 911 operator instructed Chanel to perform CPR but she was unable to revive him. 
 
 When emergency personnel arrived, paramedics found crushed up white powder on a table along with a credit card and straw and decided to give Rich 2 doses of Narcan (often used to treat opiate overdoses) to try and revive him. 
 
 Chanel told responders Rich had battled opiate addiction in the past but she believed he was clean. 
 
 Rich never regained consciousness and was transported to a nearby hospital where he was placed into a medically induced coma. 
 
 The report notes that police found bottles and bottles of testosterone in the home, 20 in total. Chanel said Rich is an admitted steroid user who's been juicing for more than 20 years. 
 
 Chanel also noted Rich had suffered from a slightly enlarged heart at one point in his life -- but didn't know if that contributed to the medical emergency. 
 
 Chanel says Rich is still alive and fighting -- but has asked for prayers. ||||| Bodybuilder Dallas McCarver Dies at 26 Apparently Choked On Food 
 
 Bodybuilder Dallas McCarver Dies, Apparently Choked On Food 
 
 Exclusive Details 
 
 Bodybuilding superstar Dallas McCarver -- aka "Big Country" -- has died after apparently choking on food at his Florida home, TMZ Sports has learned. 
 
 We spoke with McCarver's girlfriend, WWE superstar Dana Brooke, who says the 26-year-old was found unconscious just after midnight Tuesday morning by a friend at his home shortly after they spoke on the phone. 
 
 McCarver was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports there appears to be no signs of foul play. 
 
 Brooke says McCarver told her he was about to make dinner and the last thing he said to her was, "I love you. Goodbye." 
 
 Brooke says the cause of death is believed to be choking on food ... and it does not appear McCarver was trying to harm himself. 
 
 McCarver had worked out earlier in the day on Monday and seemed to be doing just fine ... no signs of a medical problem while hitting a chest press with 160 lbs dumbbells. 
 
 McCarver burst on to the bodybuilding circuit when he was 21 and immediately began winning big competitions. He was a 6'1", 300-lb beast who was crazy strong in the weight room. 
 
 Just last year, McCarver placed 8th in the 2016 Mr. Olympia competition. 
 
 McCarver had a health scare back in March when he collapsed onstage at the 2017 Arnold Classic Australia ... but he appeared to be doing much better recently. 
 
 Brooke tells us the message to McCarver's fans is to stay strong -- that's what he would want. 
 
 R.I.P. ||||| My phone, like many others in the bodybuilding world, was buzzing early and often this morning as colleagues shared some horrible news: Rising star Dallas "Big Country" McCarver has passed away, according to numerous internet reports. He was just 26 years old. 
 
 Word is that Josh Lenartowicz, who has been training and sharing living quarters with McCarver while both bodybuilders trained at Flex Lewis' gym in Florida, found McCarver face down in the kitchen, not breathing. He had food in his mouth, and attempts by Lenartowicz to revive him failed. Paramedics arrived and transported McCarver to the hospital, where efforts to revive him were unsuccessful. To this point, nothing official has been announced as the cause of death. 
 
 McCarver was a rising star whose trajectory started at a young age. He became the youngest pro ever to win an overall champion at a pro qualifier in 2012 when he took it all at the North American Championships at only 21 years old. Cody Montgomery later became the youngest ever to duplicate that feat when he won the Overall at the 2015 USA Championships at 20. 
 
 Over the ensuing five years, McCarver built a sterling reputation as one of the strongest bodybuilders, as well as one of the hardest working. Not content to simply be one of the biggest men onstage, he was also one of the most athletic, working split jumps and other innovations into his posing—no small feat for a man well over 300 pounds with very little body fat. 
 
 McCarver had two wins on the pro level: the 2015 California Pro and the 2016 Chicago Pro. Earlier this year, he finished second to Cedric McMillan in the thrilling finale to the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio, then followed that up with a second-place medal at the New Zealand Pro a week later. However, he failed to finish at the Arnold Australia a week after that, nearly collapsing on stage at the prejudging due to an upper respiratory infection. 
 
 In recent years, McCarver started his own clothing brand, Outgrow Your Ego—a worthy message to any up-and-coming bodybuilder. As he wrote in an Instagram post just weeks ago, "Dreams, thoughts, and simply wanting something will get you nothing but let down…if you truly want it GET TO WORK!" 
 
 Dallas McCarver got to work, and he achieved a tremendous amount in a short time. He will be missed. 
 
 We will continue following and updating this breaking story as it unfolds.
– Another bodybuilder has suffered an untimely death, just days after Dallas McCarver apparently choked to death at 26. Rich Piana, 46, collapsed while his girlfriend was cutting his hair at his Florida apartment Aug. 7. He was rushed to a hospital and placed into a medically induced coma, but never recovered; he died early Friday, TMZ reports. In its initial report on the incident, TMZ Sports reported that Piana's girlfriend, Chanel, said that he hit his head when he fell. She also told authorities that he at one point in the past had a slightly enlarged heart. His cause of death is not yet clear, but TMZ notes that in a search of his apartment, authorities found not only steroids but also a crushed-up white powder near a credit card and a straw. Emergency responders gave him two doses of Narcan in an attempt to revive him, though his girlfriend told authorities she believed Piana, who did struggle with opiate addiction in the past, was currently clean. Piana had won several bodybuilding competitions, including Mr. California, and was a hit on Instagram. Both his girlfriend and his ex-wife have posted remembrances on social media.
