Dwayne Quamina, a former Mr. Olympia competitor and U.S. Navy veteran, died on Sunday at the age of 40. His passing occurred unexpectedly, just over a week after he finished sixth at the Atlanta Pro competition.
No cause of death has been confirmed.
Quamina, who was known in the bodybuilding community as 'King Q,' had recently posted a message to his 114,000 Instagram followers, urging them "not to take life for granted" and to "have zero regrets when it’s all over."
Born in Trinidad and Tobago, Quamina moved to the United States and was based in California. He also worked as an online coach. He competed in Mr. Olympia, bodybuilding's premier event, with his best performance being 10th place in 2018. He is survived by his wife, Leah, and their children.
