Dave Palumbo of Muscular Development reports that former IFBB Pro Bodybuilder and former American Gladiator Shelley Beattie died on February 13, 2008. She was 39 years old.
Beattie played “Siren” on the original American Gladiators series (not be confused with Valerie Waugaman who plays “Siren” in the current series). Beattie was one of very few and the most accomplished deaf female professional bodybuilders. She was an actress who appeared in the movie Hot Shots! Part Deaux that starred Charlie Sheen. She was formerly married to John Romano, senior editor for Muscular Development Magazine.

As to Shelly “being in a better place waiting for us” I do doubt it. Cut the fantasy.

So in light of the above report, tell me, Mr. Oakes, don’t you feel like the SOB you are? Steroids indeed! Give me a break!

I do agree that she ISN’T in some “better place”, unless that better place only suggests her being free from an obviously pained existence. There is no heaven or hell; no life after death.
Shelley was a talented bodybuilder and athlete, and, by all accounts, a warm and friendly woman.
Again, very sad.
Respectfully,
Rob

How do you know if there is no life after death? Have you experianced death to know? Obviously not?
So steroids was not the reson she committed suicide. But, could steroids have made her manic depressive or bi-polar? Well, if you pump a bunch of chemicals into your body, one can only assume.
Is her death sad? Yes it is. No onw knows where she is now. If she was saved, she is in heaven as no where in the bible is self destruction a sin that will send you to hell. But only God knows where she is.
