At the age of 17, he was very strong and reportedly could lift a lorry, but had back and joint issues and difficulty walking by age 20

Maybe lifting lorries wasn't a good idea

Didn't help. But would have likely happened regardless. At least usually with people of that size.

Didn’t die super young, 71 years.

Wondering if he has the same voice as Clancy. "SpongeBob, me boy".
