After his workout, Big is seen heading to the shower, when suddenly he clutches his shoulder and collapses, as Carrie states in voice over, ‘And just like that Big died.’

‘I’m sure SATC fans, like me, are saddened by the news that Mr. Big dies of a heart attack,’ Steinbaum began in her statement to US Weekly.

‘Mr. Big lived what many would call an extravagant lifestyle — including cocktails, cigars, and big steaks — and was at serious risk as he had a previous cardiac event in Season 6,’ she continued.

‘These lifestyle choices and perhaps even his family history, which often is a significant factor, were the likely cause of his death. Riding his Peloton bike may have even helped delay his cardiac event,’ she added.

Steinbaum also revealed that, ‘more than 80 percent of all cardiac-related deaths are preventable’ by changing one’s lifestyle, diet and exercise.

‘While 25 percent of heart attacks each year are in patients who already had one (like Mr. Big), even then they are very, very treatable,’ she continued.

‘It’s always important to talk to your doctor, get tested, and have a healthy prevention strategy. The good news is Peloton helps you track heart rate while you ride, so you can do it safely,’ she said.

Mr. Big’s death was met with mixed reactions on social media, with some, like @cathrynsetz,’ hinting they may have, ‘just tanked Peloton, in the very first episode!’

Others were more distraught, with @helcnsharpe adding, ‘I will never recover I’m being so serious.’ 

Another fan, @zourkandy, stated that the writers ‘disrespected’ fans by having Carrie ‘chasing that love, and once she has that, she loses it again?!’
