Its called a life time of steroid use.

No it's not, it's called " acute myocardial infarction", also known as a heart attack.

The average age of death is around 75 and Hogan died at age 71. I would say he met the average.

Approximately 350,000 to 400,000 people die annually from acute myocardial infarction. Hard to believe that they were all on steroids too...

Hogan testified in the 1994 steroid trial of Vince McMahon that he had started using steroids in 1976.

Unless you have evidence to the contrary, it's safe to say he never used them since.

Using your logic, my dad (aged 76) was a steroid abuser as were several of my under 70 softball friends who died this past year.

Your comment is ignorant and devoid of any evidence whatsoever.......

I did not say that heart attacks are only caused by steroids. 71 is 7 years younger than the average age. But its about 15 years younger than the average age of death for someone who made it to 65. This takes childhood death and most car accidents out. I was not his doctor. But steroid use like his often shortens life. Heart attacks and cancer are among the largest results from extended steroid use. He may have also had a horrible diet. But looking at his physique, I am guessing that the steroids enlarged his heart. I did not examine him. Its just a guess.
