George Da Bull Peterson passed away only a few days before the 2021 Olympia. George Peterson was only 37 years old and is well known in the Classic Physique and 212 bodybuilding classes. We do not know how George passed at this time. Condolences to George Peterson's family and friends. RIP George Peterson.

George Peterson RIP

Seems like it never stops. No other sport in the world has deaths like this.

More on this sad event. This will get some tears in your eyes.

This was Justin Miller on IG.

“I’m in shock. I’m scared. I’m sad. I’m in disbelief. Freaked out. I’m completely devasted. My hands are trembling as I type this. It feels like a nightmare…but at the same time I know its real.
Ricky @new_england_muscle_media and I just cleaned out George’s room to bring his belongings home to his mom and sister. We are so freaked out….Im literally shaking. Can’t stop my hands from shaking. Haven’t cried yet…just still in shock.
Here is what we know. George looked amazing! Felt amazing! He was so inspiring last night. Said things both on and off camera that gave Ricky and I chills. He was so on point mentally and physically. George was energetic, strong lifting the whole gym last night. Inspired. Passionate. Focused. The best version of George at any contest both mentally and physically I have ever seen.
I went to amateur prejudging early this morning while Ricky worked on the next episode to put it out before tomorrow’s press conference.
I arrived back at noon and couldn’t reach George. He wouldn’t answer his door. We got a security guard to open his room and we found him face down mostly cold. Called 911 and followed their instructions did chest compressions until more security came and took over CPR, followed minutes later by the EMT’s.
They couldn’t save him….apparently it had been several hours he was gone. I pleaded them to keep trying but eventually they talked me down saying hes been gone for awhile.
I have hundreds of messages and I heard there are reports out in social media of it but I haven’t looked yet.
I don’t know what to do or say.
George was my closest friend. I can’t believe he’s gone. I just can’t believe it.
We dont know what happened.
Heart attack? Stroke? We don’t know and won’t know until his autopsy is completed.
He looked and felt healthy and was in great spirits.
I was going to disable comments for obvious reasons and trolls and I may still…but for now I will able them.
Please be respectful of this great man and his family.
I wish I knew what to say.
Please keep his soul and his family in your prayers.
I love you George!
I’ll live with you in my heart for the rest of my days on this Earth.” – Justin Miller.

"Truly sad to see George Peterson leave us so soon… @ only 37 years ..may he R.I.P.
I blame his passing on the new coaching system… we really need to stop those unqualified coaches… that’s completely unacceptable. George was one wonderful human being n losing him just like that, upsets me 100x more!!“
