I've known Doug for quite a long while. We worked out a Golds and spoke often. After I saw his interview on The White Underbelly I was really impressed. It inspired me to invite him the gym in El Segundo at the Space Force Base to check it out and since he had been in the Military he might be interested in seeing it. He had a great time and remembered with Honor serving in the Military. He looked like a Character from Call of Duty for god's sake. I cannot believe this has happened and just want his wife to know he was very well respected and a proud Veteran who signed up to fight for his Country. God Bless you MRS Douglas Frushey. We never met but I saw a big change in Douglas when you came into his life. Never saw him so happy. Love Troy
So Sad, so young. Not sure what happened to Doug. He was a great trainer, I learned so much from him. He pushed me beyond my limits. Rest in Paradise my friend. With peace and love, Ruben Diaz
😢 I just saw this video now. I am deeply saddened. I have enjoyed his channel for years. I have rewatched his videos multiple times for his advice and I loved his honesty. My heart is broken 💔 for his wife and family. I never had the honor of meeting him, but such an incredible loss to all of us! He has touched so many lives in a positive way. Doug may you rest in peace..........
You could be the skinniest guy in the gym but if you walked up to Doug he would shake your hand and make time to talk to you. Thats the kind of person he was. He was your friend as soon as you met him.
Can't thankyou enough Dan. I wondered why I woke up at an odd hour, then I saw this post. It does bring me some peace. It hurts, but he was living his dream. Douglas was loved and will be missed by many. I regret not telling Charles how much his mentorship and friendship meant to Douglas. Thankyou Dan.
Never met the man but loved his vids, loved his manner and deportment. A class pro, more interested in passing on information than self aggrandizement. RIP Doug.
I have been crying non-stop for a week now. I haven't even left my apartment, I have to do it soon as food is running out. He left every single clue on film and no one put the pieces together until it was too late. I'll say no more right now. I have to get MY life in order now. You were a great Man. I'll miss you. Alan.
I am the same way.This is so unfair.I think of all the chances-his wife a nurse,plenty of help in L.A. ,friends/family. I read Mike Bayer's book BEST LIFE and he had a meth addition. He said it steals your soul and takes away common sense.He too went into hiding for a weeklong binge.This is sooo sad.
I think of him every day.So sad.He had a good life and a good future in bodybuilding,the perfect gym job and a loving wife.Would like to know what happened in his last days.Did he go missing,or was he home already dead? Why wasn't there help? Things must have gotten real bad for him to take his life.
We are a tree trunk, born of a thy root. If you know someone and they're seemingly not themselves, take them out for a burger, talk with them, or just make sure they know they are important in their presence, and that's they gift we give to one another.
What an awesome video. I was wondering why I hadn't seen content from him in a while. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this... But it sounded like he knew where he was headed as sad as that is. Still a legend in my eyes. I will try and make him proud!! God bless you Doug!🙏🏼
He didn't know where he was headed, but I sort of know what you're saying. He knew there was a possibility of this happening, but still unexpected. Definitely a legend. Very intelligent guy as well. RIP to Doug, he was a good man.
There's so much mystery on his passing,nothing much has been released.I don't think he went missing,he just did the suicide and no one could contact him.His wife's a traveling nurse so he might have done it while she was away. I really really miss him...
@@billj4525 Ya know-i've heard sooo much.Heard he died June 13,14,15, heard he was missing 2 weeks,yet died at home.Anymore I don't know what to believe.
@@arvin8892 Pretty sure it was an overdose. That's what everyone was saying, including RFK who knew Doug well. Where did you get the heart stroke from? I heard it didn't have to do with steroids or the heart.
@@Zahaaaaaaalmousawi He overdosed. At least that's what most people who knew him well have said. He had a drug problem when he was younger and somehow came back to do it. Very sad. He was a very intelligent, capable, and overall good person. RIP Doug.
Yeah, apparently he stopped abusing recreational drugs a long time ago though. Somehow he came back to it. Unfortunate situation since it didn't look like that would happen to him. With the steroids and recreational drugs, it's insane how many of these young men die.
@@billj4525 Yes, It astounds me the stupidity of them. I class them the same as Heroin users. They are abusing drugs just like them. The top Bodybuilders look ridiculous to me now. The women are even worse turning into men, it’s horrendous. 😡
It's supposed to be enjoyable, but yeah you really should have other hobbies as well. Not healthy to do just do one thing, especially if you don't enjoy it. I have always really enjoyed lifting and working out, as well as the body building aspect of it.

RIP Doug 😢 , what is the reason of his passing?
@@Zahaaaaaaalmousawi idk for sure ?? But I saw some Body Building YT channels say OD ?? Allegedly
@@Zahaaaaaaalmousawi i think it was a heart stroke

Drug abuse doesn’t end well for lots of Bodybuilders. They will never learn. 😡

The guy had a ton or charm and charisma, a rotten shame he passed away. What the hell did he die of?
Doug take one last look at that view. You did it to urself.
RIP Doug 😢 , what is the reason of his passing?
how did he die?
Truth is, life is misery. Doug was tough and strong on the outside. I can't believe life made him tap out. THAT'S WEAK!
As much as i like Doug, STAY AWAY FROM DRUGS AND OTHER STEROIDS PEOPLE!!!
what happened him
If BB is all you have ,like me it was . And everyday was miserable. Find other hobbies, living this life style isn't fun.
It's supposed to be enjoyable, but yeah you really should have other hobbies as well. Not healthy to do just do one thing, especially if you don't enjoy it. I have always really enjoyed lifting and working out, as well as the body building aspect of it.
