This is a shocking incident. A 22-year-old famous bodybuilder was found dead under mysterious circumstances at his home, prompting local police to launch an investigation.
The UK outlet 'The Sun' reported on the 25th (Korea time) that "Gabriel Ganri, a famous Brazilian bodybuilder and fitness influencer, was found dead in the kitchen of his home, and local police have launched an investigation."
Ganri was found collapsed on the floor of the kitchen in his home located in São Paulo, Brazil, on the morning of the 23rd by a friend. It is understood that there were no signs of external intrusion or obvious violence at the scene at the time of discovery. However, local police have classified Ganri's cause of death as suspicious and are currently conducting a detailed investigation to clarify the exact circumstances.
A wave of mourning has followed the sudden news of the large influencer, who has over 2 million followers on social networking services (SNS) alone. A company that sponsored Ganri stated, "With the deepest sorrow, we bid farewell to our eternal brother," adding, "He lived every moment intensely and created historic and unforgettable moments with us." Fans also expressed their grief, noting that he was an influencer who motivated millions around the world and left a great legacy in a short time.

Ganri, who originally studied physical education, had a unique background as a professional Pokémon player who reached the top 8 in Latin America before retiring at the age of 15. He later transitioned through boxing, jiu-jitsu, and wrestling before beginning serious weight training. In particular, a video of him successfully performing a leg press weighing as much as 500kg during exercise went viral on SNS, propelling him to become a world-class fitness star.
Ganri's shocking early death has also led to growing criticism of the string of tragedies currently sweeping the bodybuilding community. Some are raising suspicions that the successive deaths of these young bodybuilders may be closely linked to the misuse of performance-enhancing drugs, including steroids.
In fact, allegations of drug use and brutal sudden deaths in the bodybuilding world have already repeated several times this year alone. In February, Juan Sebastian Angola Quintero, a bodybuilding champion, suddenly collapsed and lost his life while undergoing intense training at a gym in Bogota, Colombia. Following that, in January, Brazilian bodybuilder Arlindo de Souza, who became famous as the 'live-action Popeye' by injecting oil into his body to build muscle, died at the age of 55.
