No details are released at this point, but the strongman grapevine said it happened while training. Although I did not know Jesse, I am personally saddened by his passing as he was one of our own.
In times like this when we are reminded of just how dangerous this sport can be, and the toll it takes on the body; you should be proud that you compete and do what very few others are willing to attempt.
Do not draw your own conclusions and say stupid things about what caused his death.
