Rich Piana’s cause of death: What happened to Rich Piana?

An autopsy revealed that, Rich Piana died as a result of “significant heart disease” and that his heart and liver weighed over twice the average amount for an adult male. He died on August 25 at the age of 46, after spending two weeks in an induced coma to try to reduce swelling in the brain.

Piana collapsed while having a haircut at his home in Clearwater, Florida, at 1:30 p.m. on August 7, 2017. He was at that time standing and hit his head when he collapsed. The paramedics confirmed that Piana’s heart was not beating properly. His heartbeat was eventually restored, but so much time had passed that brain damage had set in from lack of oxygen.
