Former bodybuilder Dwayne Quamina, also known as “King Q,” dies at age 40 on August 16, 2026. Multiple outlets report that his death is confirmed by his wife, Leah Jerez. The New York Post also notes that Quamina previously urged fans to “stop taking life for granted,” and describes him as a caring figure for his family and community.
Several details about the circumstances of his final days are reported. Times of India says Quamina competed at the Atlanta Pro shortly before his death, finishing sixth, and that his last social media activity appeared “eerie” to some followers. Times of India emphasizes that the cause of death has not been publicly disclosed. While both reports acknowledge public reactions and tributes from others, the specific cause and timing beyond the confirmed death date are not detailed consistently across sources.
