Very sad and heartbreaking news for the muscle community. Today, the popular, sweet, massive Thom Austin, passed away peacefully in his sleep at the age of 63. Thom was a smiling muscle man, and his presence on Instagram was a joy for muscle fans everywhere.
Rest in peace, big man. Your memory will forever live on in our hearts...

Sad news indeed.馃檹
Drugs and roids are a terrible combination
Stupidity and ignorance are much, MUCH worse and you’re a prime example of it.
That was the most ignorant and rude comment ever.
In 2005 I gave 5 d贸lares t么 a campainha for him( I live in Brasil). He contactei me and sais he was Very happy with my aid fron a do distante country Very kind
I agree that drugs and roids are dangerous if this was the case! This has become common in the body building world!
Did the guy have a history of child abuse?
Nobody mentioned that he was an openly Gay Man when he competed. We all saw Bob Paris being discriminated. Thom didn't put up with that. He was a good Man.
RIP Thom.
I admired this man over 20 years.
You'll be missed.
There are so many stupid comment here. Many have no clue about they are saying.
As for gay competing bodybuilders, they have ALWAYS been around and winning!
I'm so disgusted about the comments on here. What do you expect from trolls. Not every bodybuilder takes roids or whichever. Trolls could be so rude and obnoxious. I'm so sorry, Thom, these rude stupid comments were posted. Thank you for being my perseonal trainer. I miss you.
Actually Thom was bisexual he came out in a Yahoo group dedicated to fans of him as he did an interview with the owner of the group via email. Rest in peace.
God, what decade are we in. Really, are people still bringing up this subject matter again? Are there some of you that are that new to bodybuilding? So and so was gay,... surprise! Give me a break. My experience from this world is I would give it a good 50/50 split. Sorry deniers and insecure men and homophobes or variation thereof. Get real. Who gives a shit. I have an issue though with people who can say horrible things behind the mask of an anonymity. If you're going to say something that shitty about someone who's past, use your real name. Or shut the hell up. You didn't know him you weren't friends with him and neither was I. There is plenty of room for the subject matter of steroid abuse. Because it is a problem. How many bodybuilders have died in the last couple of years. A lot. Personally I think steroid abuse has almost ruined the sport. There's way much to reliance on these new forms of steroids that have turned these men into grossly exaggerated forms of bodybuilding and muscle. And what is the final outcome the heart can't take it the liver can't take it The kidneys can't take it and they die. This needs to stop. But personally I don't know what took this man's life. He seemed like a nice guy. And I will leave well enough alone. As for the comment of, was he a victim of child abuse. In what form? What is that even supposed to mean? Has others out there have already mentioned, rest in peace Thom and let's all move on and live healthy and happy lives.
