Bodybuilder Shawn Rhoden “Flexatron,” born in Kingston, Jamaica, unfortunately, died from a heart attack on 6th November 2021.
Shawn Rhoden has been one of the best bodybuilders in recent years, and he won the Mr. Olympia 2018.
He was a great bodybuilder, and he had a very aesthetically pleasing physique.
Shawn Rhoden had been competing at the highest level since 2011 when he made his Mr. Olympia debut and got 11th place.
A year later, Shawn managed to get 3rd place on the Olympia.

Shawn hasn’t had a great time in the last couple of years. He was accused of rape in 2018 shortly after his Mr. Olympia win and was banned from competing.
Since that incident, we haven’t seen Shawn on the Olympia stage.

Phil Heath made a post about Shawn Rhoden on his social media:
I’ve been sitting here all day trying to find my words. I feel completely numb and I don’t want to believe it.
My heart aches for your sweet baby girl, your ex wife, your mother, siblings and all of your family and friends. I can only pray that your soul is at peace, that you can look down on your family and friends and be their big guardian Angel.
I will never forget the many years of brotherhood, the banter, the laughs and the wild times we shared on stage.
@shuriecremona and I send our deepest condolences. We are lifting up your family and friends in prayer. May they feel peace and understanding and know that you’re never too far away. May God rest your soul @flexatronrhoden 🙏🏽Rest In Peace My brother in Iron 💪🏽🙏🏽 #14

This has taken several hours to write/ rewrite deleted. Why am I writing another obituary for another close friend 😢
We only yesterday spoke about plans to meet up today, after 3wks on the road I was looking forward to catching up with my friend.

I took the call about Shawns passing at 2am and not slept since. All day I have tried to make head n tails of it, but I started to think of some the wonderful memories I had with Shawn, we traveled the world competing together, working expos, shows, guest posings and I will hold on to them memories dearly. My heart goes out to his daughter who is around the same age as Adiena I have posted photos of our last win together were we got to celebrate with our Olympia trophies and our biggest trophies our daughters.

As the night turned to morning I started to see posts and read some of the most unbelievable things today, just like I did when Dallas passed away. I am deactivating comments because quite honestly I don’t wanna read opinions on how you thought he died, and what he should or shouldn’t done.

Celebrate a man, a Mr Olympia champion whom you have cheered for, met at a expos taken photos with.

I do agree that something needs to be done for the future, too many athletes are not having regular health checks, I feel lives can be saved if something is implemented or you can’t compete.
We lost a good man today, a friend, a father and a champion, I say this with great sadness but I feel this life could of been saved
