McCarver's girlfriend, WWE superstar Dana Brooke,was contacted and she says the 26-year-old was found unconscious just after midnight Tuesday morning by a friend at his home shortly after they spoke on the phone.
McCarver was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Law enforcement sources also say there appears to be no signs of foul play.
Brooke says McCarver told her he was about to make dinner and the last thing he said to her was, "I love you. Goodbye."
Brooke says the cause of death is believed to be choking on food and it does not appear McCarver was trying to harm himself.
McCarver had worked out earlier in the day on Monday and seemed to be doing just fine, no signs of a medical problem while hitting a chest press with 160 lbs dumbbells.
McCarver burst on to the bodybuilding circuit when he was 21 and immediately began winning big competitions.
He was a 6'1", 300-lb human who was crazy strong in the weight room.
Just last year, McCarver placed 8th in the 2016 Mr. Olympia competition.
McCarver had a health scare back in March when he collapsed onstage at the 2017 Arnold Classic Australia, but he appeared to be doing much better recently.
Brooke wants McCarver's fans to stay strong because that's what he would want.
