The bodybuilding community lost a major figure earlier this week with the passing of Guilherme "Gui Bull" Henrique.
Henrique was a standout figure in the Brazilian bodybuilding community, achieving major success at a young age. His passing has left family, friends, and fans in shock and mourning.
"The cause of his death was asphyxiation due to bronchoaspiration and has nothing to do with the speculation that has been circulating," his partner, Jéssica Belenello, shared on Instagram.
Brazilian authorities ordered an autopsy for the bodybuilding champion, who passed on Monday at the age of 30. The exact circumstances of his death remain unclear.
Henrique earned five champion titles in Classic Physique and Classic Bodybuilding throughout his career. In addition to his bodybuilding achievements, he held a degree in biology from the State University of Paraná, along with a master's and Ph.D. in biochemistry.
At the time of his death, Henrique was continuing his academic pursuits, studying for a Nutrition degree at the University Center of Maringá.
Though he wasn't the most active social media user, fans flooded the comment section on his most recent Instagram post with kind messages and prayers.
The Paraná Fisiculturismo Federation also took to social media to express their condolences, honoring Henrique's legacy and impact on the community.
"Gui Bull was not just an athlete; he was a human being with a giant heart, who radiated energy and inspired everyone with his determination and sportsmanship," they said.
His burial took place on Tuesday at the Municipal Cemetery of Paranavaí, his family's hometown.
