Mark Hughes, Herbalife's Founder, Dead at Age 44

Stephen Barrett

In May 2002, Herbalife founder, chairman, and chief executive officer Mark Reynold Hughes, was found dead at his $27 million oceanfront mansion in Malibu, California. In a series of articles about the death, David Evans (Bloomberg News) reported:

Hughes died after a 4-day drinking binge, apparently from an overdose of alcohol and the antidepressant drug doxepin.
His blood alcohol level was 0.21% (more than double the "drunk driving" level).
He was being treated by a psychiatrist for a drinking problem.
Hughes said many times that he had been inspired to start his company after his mother (Jo Ann Hartman) died from taking diet pills. However, Hartman's autopsy found that she died of an overdose of Darvon, a narcotic painkiller. At the time of her death she was 5-foot-6-inches tall but weighed only 105 pounds.

I wouldnt touch Herbalife with a bargepole, nor Amway or any of that pyramid selling stuff. It gets right up my nose, I hate the way its sold. It makes people use their friends and acquaintances, I've been contacted so many times by people from my past, been delighted to hear from them only to then discover they're trying to sell me something.

And the secret to health and long life does not come in the form of expensive powders and pills - it comes from eating a healthy balanced diet and doing exercise. If it were as easy as buying a product, nobody would be fat.
