Cause of Death: Shawn Rhoden
According to TMZ, Rhoden passed away due to a heart attack. In 2018, he won the Olympia in 2018 – the Super Bowl of bodybuilding competitions – by defeating 7-time Olympia champion, Phil Heath, who’d won it seven straight years. He was also the oldest competitor to win the prestigious title at 43.
Rhoden first got into bodybuilding as an amateur during the early 1990s, where he competed on and off throughout the years. In 2010, Rhoden turned pro, finishing a respectable 11th place in his first Mr. Olympia. The following year, Rhoden finished third.
Vaccine:
Big Bird is one of the first characters on Sesame Street to receive COVID-19 protection, and while some may wonder why he’s so late to the party, the timing makes sense for his audience.
The 8-foot-tall costumed persona announced the news on Twitter on Saturday, the first time he’d tweeted since March. So, for the reclusive BB, this is a huge breakthrough.
