After having a heart attack following a rigorous training session, a bodybuilder passed away. The 28-year-old Jose Mateus Correia Silva became unwell while exercising with friends at a gym in Aguas Claras, which is close to Brasilia, the capital of Brazil.
A fireman friend he was with hurried him to a neighboring fire station, but after more than an hour of trying to resuscitate him, the attempt was futile.
Tiago, Jose’s distraught brother, honored him on social media by posting the following in addition to a picture of the unfortunate athlete: “You were amazing.”
I really appreciate it. I cherish you. ‘Heaven has acquired an angel,’ he stated, adding that his sister was ‘in terrific form’ and had no health issues he knew of in an interview with local media. Jose was a beloved individual.
The deceased guy had participated, ranking tenth in the Men’s Bodybuilding Class up to 100kg at the Arnold Classic South America.
The year before and ninth in the Men’s Physique Class up to 179cm at the 2018 South American Championships.
Jose ran an internet supplement company and kept himself occupied between training sessions by getting other bodybuilders ready for contests, even though he wasn’t participating when he passed away.
In addition, he had finished a course on nutrition and was certified as a lawyer.
Hundreds of mourners, including his widow, whom he became engaged to in July 2020, attended Jose’s burial on Sunday, two days after his death last Friday, which was not publicized in his own country for many days.
It was a “beautiful farewell, full of family and friends,” according to Tiago, who also said that there were too many people for the church to accommodate.
We had both a Catholic and an evangelical ceremony. Despite the high level of emotion, the ceremony wasn’t depressing.
The cause of Jose’s illness during his training session and the circumstances surrounding his death are still unknown.
Older images of him posing with medals he received while still competing are still online, but some of his more recent social media postings have been taken down since his passing.
In response to the shocking news of Jose’s passing, one well-wisher commented, “My deepest condolences to you and your family,” next to the memorial written by his brother.
“I pray that God provides you with the solace you require to get through this difficult time.” “What sad news!” exclaimed another. I feel sorry for you. God bless you and your whole family.
Although there is no proof that Jose took drugs to improve his physique or performance, several people connected his early death to the usage of anabolic steroids.
‘It’s astounding how these bodybuilders age so rapidly with the usage of anabolic steroids,’ Cilene Rodrigues de Brito remarked on Facebook after comparing images of Jose taken later and while he was still competing.
Despite being 28, he seemed twice as old. How depressing! I pray that God takes excellent care of him.
“I don’t want to pass judgment, but that man was 28 and had the face of a 50-year-old,” another person remarked.
It’s a known truth that some anabolic steroids cause individuals to age. You lose a lot of other things when gaining muscle mass.
I also lost a young buddy who was Jose’s age. He seldom exercised and abstained from alcohol and drugs. However, he started using a multivitamin medication called Potenay to increase his muscle mass and enhance his training results.
“Unfortunately, he had a heart attack when he took caffeine with it one day.”
