His wife, Carli Fruchey, confirmed his sudden death in an Instagram post on Saturday
In a podcast last year, Douglas spoke openly about his previous struggles with drug addiction and how he had overcome them through bodybuilding.
“Initially, bodybuilding saved my life,” he said on the podcast.
“It helped to stay in there and keep going.”
Douglas later said he was proud of his journey and felt that he was able to channel his “addictive personality” into an active lifestyle.
His wife, Carli Fruchey, confirmed his sudden death in an Instagram post on Saturday.
“Rest peacefully my sweet Moosey,” she wrote alongside several pictures of the two together.
“He will be missed by many. Such a phenomenal guy,” commented one social media user under the post.
“R.I.P Big D! You will be missed,” another echoed.
Douglas felt that although he would change a lot of things about his past, he tried not to dwell on that chapter of his life.
Instead, he tried to find the “beauty” in his journey.
