Investigators have ruled out suicide.

His workout videos on YouTube regularly attracted millions of viewers.
More recently he had appeared in Bravo’s reality television programme Work Out.
He also had parts in Robert DeNiro’s The Good Shepherd and Terminator 4, starring Christian Bale.
Editor-in-chief of Muscle & Fitness magazine Shawn Perine tweeted: “My heart goes out to the family and friends of Greg Plitt.
