quote from his training partner on what happened:

(they had done a few other exercises before the squat set)

Friends, we suffered a great loss in the strongman community last evening. The Sequim Crew was doing what they do. Training hard and particularly training Jesse for the WSM contest in Anaheim. He died quickly and painlessly.

The squat set was as follows:
230kg x 8
190kg x 8
150kg x 8
110kg x 8
70kg x 8
Followed immediately by:
600# tire flip
265# stone load
All of this was done with no rest between sets. Rack, pull, go
At the completion of these sets Jesse laid on his back, on the cold floor like normal. Breck and Sarge noticed that his breathing was laborious. Jesse became incoherent and stopped breathing. We administered cpr, called 911 and continued to resusitate until paramedics arrived. They set up the defibrillator, epinephrin, to no avail. He was worked on for over an hour between Breck, Sarge and the paramedics.

These are the facts as it happened. We are deeply saddened by this tragic loss. We appreciate your support and prayers.

The Sequim Crew

Some clips of Jesse in action. I think all WSM fans will be saddened by this news.

He was incredibly funny during them as well. I was reading an interview with Pudz where he described how Jesse robbed all his bandana's one year and left him clues on where to find them.

To be honest this has shook me up alot. Jesse was one of the strongest guys in the world. To lose someone like that, in that way is a complete tradgey.

He went out doing what he loved. No man can ask for more than that. I really feel for his family. Especially his newly born daughter who'll never get a chance to know her dad.

This is how I'll always remember Jesse http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyyqDB6WMuI&mode=related&search=

RIP bro.

I'm guessing that the heavy squats followed by lying down on his back put his heart under huge stress.

Actually your heart rate should return to base quicker if you are lying down that either sitting or standing.

Indeed it does, but this produces its own problems:

The justification for a cool-down period following any strenuous workouts is quite simple. Blood returns to the heart through a system of veins; the blood is pushed along by heart contractions, and the veins' milking action is assisted by muscle contraction during exercise. Veins contract or squeeze and move the blood forward against gravity while valves prevent the blood from backing up. If you stop exercising suddenly, this milking action will also cease, and blood return will drop quickly and may cause blood pooling (blood remaining in the same area) in the legs, leading to deep breathing, which may in turn lower carbon dioxide levels and produce muscle cramps. At this point, blood pressure drops precipitously and causes trouble. The body compensates for the unexpected drop in pressure by secreting as much as 100 times the normal amount of a hormone called norepinephrine. This high
level of norepinephrine can cause cardiac problems for some indivduals during the recovery phase of vigorous exercises.

Whether you accept it is another thing. I know that after reading it, it kind of made sense to me, and I never stop exercising abruptly. But I'm 47 and probably further along the risk scale.

P.S. Stupidly forgot to add: RIP

It all seems to make sense upon reading. The effort and level of output a person like Jesse would be putting into workouts would be huge.

While some valid points are being made I think it's a bit unsensitive to say things that imply Jesse caused his own death. In truth he could well have done. None the less Jesse left behind a wife and 2 kids, and even tho I doubt they're going to read this, it would be a mark of respect to not try and hypothesize what lead to his early death so soon after it happened.

Jesus thats terrible, as its been said he died doing what he loved.

Prayers to his family, RIP.

RIP Jesse - terrible news to hear.
