<\/div>At just 44 years old, actor and weightlifting influencer Vittorio Pirbazari has died — the second young bodybuilder to pass away suddenly in a single month.<\/p>
According to People<\/em> magazine<\/a>, Pirbazari's death was confirmed in an Instagram video<\/a> posted by his friend Said Ibraham, a German-language true crime YouTuber<\/a> with whom the bodybuilder had worked in the past.<\/p> In the video, Ibraham lamented in German the death of his \"bruderherz\" or \"dear brother\" and said, per People<\/em>'s translation, that he was thrown \"completely off track\" upon learning that Pirbazari had passed away.<\/p> Though no official cause of death has been reported, Ibraham suggested that the 44-year-old strongman had a heart attack when he was in the gym. A similar fate befell 20-year-old Jodi Vance, a weightlifting coach who died of dehydration-induced cardiac arrest<\/a> in March after allegedly taking an unspecified supplement.<\/p> Pirbazari's untimely demise came just a few months after suffering a torn chest muscle<\/a> that resulted in a surgical reattachment. During his recovery, the weightlifting actor was unable to exercise — and just days before his death, he made another post<\/a> about his slow return to the gym.<\/p> \"I'm happy to be back in the gym at all and am focusing entirely on leg training and cardio,\" Pirbazari wrote, per IG's auto-translation. \"I'm trying intervals on the treadmill right now, but since my legs aren't 100 percent healed yet, I'm taking it slowly.\"<\/p> Given that he had been out of the gym for three months, it's quite possible that the German muscle man's heart was no longer able to handle his workouts — especially if he pushed himself too hard.<\/p> Do you know anything about unsafe practices in the world of bodybuilding?
