Chad Brothers was a bodybuilder with significantly enhanced muscles. His bodyweight was 240 pounds. His abnormal behavior, cardiac arrest and sudden death in October, 2011 have been widely discussed in numerous articles in magazines, newspapers and internet. It was claimed that Chad Brothers had come to the Gold’s Gym in Latham, Albany. The bodybuilder was too aggressive and began to attack other people who were training in the gym. When police arrived, there were some attempts to subdue him. Since the bodybuilder refused to subdue, a police officer had to use a Taser, an electroshock weapon, for this purpose. Chad Brothers experienced a circulatory arrest and died.
It was uncovered by the post-mortem toxicology that anabolic steroids had been presented in the system of the bodybuilder. No one can doubt that this aspect caused appearance of different articles that told readers that anabolic steroids had led to his death. But an important aspect was not mentioned. Some authors of articles linked with Brothers’ death did it intentionally; others did it unknowingly. Phencyclidine (PCP) that is known as “angel dust” was also presented.
Cecilia Logue, spokesperson for David Soares of the Albany County District Attorney’s Office and articles of the Times-Union cursed anabolic steroids for Chad Brothers’ death. Only such readers that had looked for additional information could find out that not only anabolic steroids were presented in Brothers’ system.
The police official Steven Heider was interviewed by FOX 23 News. This official reported that both steroids and PCP were found by the post-mortem toxicology.
While anabolic steroids are a Schedule III Controlled Substances, PCP is a Schedule II Controlled Substance. Phencyclidine possesses anesthetic, dissociative and hallucinogenic features. However anabolic steroids are damned for unusual behavior and sudden death of Chad Brothers, PCP might have contributed in his abnormal behavior and death.
