BMX bike legend Dave Mirra — who once had the record for the most X Games medals — has died of an apparent suicide.
Cops say the 41 year old’s body was found in his truck in Greenville, North Carolina Thursday with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. We’re told he had been in the area visiting with friends. Mirra leaves a wife and two kids.
Earlier Thursday, a photo of Mirra and his wife together appeared on Dave’s Instagram account with the caption, “My Rock! Thank god.”
Mirra hosted 2 seasons of ‘Real World/Road Rules Challenge’ on MTV — and was the namesake of several BMX video games. Mirra also drove for Subaru rally car racing team.
