Olympian competitors using PEDs aren't running around on vast amounts of aromatase inhibitors and diuretics to completely eliminate all water from their bodies - this is practically standard in pro bodybuilding.
Powerlifters don't die nearly as frequently and it's largely because aesthetic dryness isn't required.
Olympians also aren't explicitly trying to obtain mass as a goal and wouldn't customarily be walking around at 5'10"/300lbs (for instance - extrapolate) as a bodybuilder might in their off-season. Excess mass is usually detrimental in most Olympic sports and is avoided.
Being medically obese, regardless of body composition, is tough on the human heart - add in extreme/forced dehydration, stimulants, and possibly recreational drugs, and you have a recipe for early expiration.
