“It is with the heaviest of hearts that Chuck and I let you know that we said goodbye to our beautiful Megan yesterday. We have had many reach out after seeing other posts. We will let you know about services after we have some time,” Morris wrote.
“Megan has been taken from us sooner than any of us were ready for, and as parents our hearts hurt and are broken. We now have another angel in Heaven to watch over us. Megan will join my Mom and my sister and her MawMaw. Soar high Miss Mighty Mouse! We love you always.”

UPDATE (9:50am 8/27/21): The original version of this article contained a small segment recapping the recent string of deaths in competitive bodybuilding as well as a comment from Mr. Olympia promoter Jake Wood on his concerns over athlete health in the sport. We have spoken with and received comments from Megan Elizabeth’s family and friends on their concern this is misleading in connecting her passing to these other deaths. This was not our intention and so we have removed the content to more accurately reflect the reality of this situation.
