Brazilian Bodybuilding Champion Guilherme Henrique Dies At 30, Autopsy Ordered
A Brazilian bodybuilding champion, known in the sport as Gui Bull, died on Monday at age 30. According to TMZ, Guilherme Henrique was a top bodybuilder and a popular figure in the Maringa fitness community. He competed in several events, including the Classic Physique and Classic Bodybuilding categories. The cause of his death has not officially been disclosed. However, his girlfriend Jessica Belenello wrote a lengthy message on her Instagram story, revealing that the 30-year-old died after suffering from asphyxiation.
"The cause of his death was asphyxiation due to bronchoaspiration and has nothing to do with the speculation that has been circulating," Ms Belenello wrote in an Instagram post, as per TMZ.
"Gui is the love of my life. He was an incredible person, full of light, and deserves to be remembered as such. The pain of his loss is immense, and we will treat him with the dignity he deserves," she added.
Separately, the Parana Fisiculturismo federation also confirmed Mr Henrique's demise, releasing a statement on Facebook, describing him as a "giant-hearted human being".
"We remember with fondness your first firm and dedicated steps at Parana Bodybuilding, where your passion and talent already shone brightly," the federation said.
"His journey in bodybuilding was marked by his determination and his love for the sport. Our sincere solidarity to the family, friends, and the entire bodybuilding community. May you find comfort in each other and be sure that Gui will always be present in our memories," the statement added.
Brazilian authorities have ordered an autopsy into the details surrounding his tragic death.
Guilherme Henrique won five titles in his career and had a strong following in the fitness community in his homeland. He had a degree in Biology from the State University of Parana, as well as both a master's and a PhD in Biochemistry. He was pursuing a degree in Nutrition at the University Centre of Maringa before his death.
Soon after the news of his demise was released, tributes poured in for the star online.
"Go with God Gui... We love you," wrote one user. "Wow, so young. My sincere condolences to the family," commented another.
Mr Henrique's death comes months after a 20-year-old bodybuilder in the US died after suffering a fatal heart attack while attending a sports festival.
It also comes after 44-year-old German bodybuilder and Netflix star, Vittorio Pirbazari, died in April after collapsing while running on a treadmill.

Tom Brady panicked over Gisele Bündchen's reaction after underaged son's wild night with Snoop Dogg
Retired football star Tom Brady shared a funny story about a post-game celebration with where his young son, Jack, was present. Brady humorously recounted his anxiety that his former wife, Gisele Bündchen, would discover the lively atmosphere, which included a stage pole, given his son's presence. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now How a Snoop Dogg's party sent Tom Brady into a dad dilemma Tom Brady, the celebrated former quarterback, recently recounted a rather extraordinary and humorous experience that transcended the usual pressures of his legendary NFL career. In a candid interview, Brady detailed an amusing encounter involving the rapper Snoop Dogg, his son Jack, who was then 11, and an exuberant afterparty following a game. This unexpected situation led to a moment of genuine parental apprehension for Brady. The unusual scenario unfolded after a win in Atlanta. As Brady described it, the evening culminated in a hotel afterparty, with Snoop Dogg serving as the vibrant center of attention. The gathering featured music, revelry, and even a stage with a pole. Brady clarified that performers were dressed, but the environment was undeniably more adult than he'd anticipated, especially with Jack sitting right next to him at 2 AM, fully engaged in the spectacle. Tom Brady and his son Jack (Image via Instagram) Brady recalled telling his son, "Jack, cover your eyes." Jack's calm reply, "Dad, I'm good, I'm good," sparked a wave of internal worry for Brady. He lightheartedly confessed, "If he tells his mother, I ain't gonna see this kid for a long time." This anecdote is one of several Brady has shared as he navigates his life after professional football. Following his 2022 divorce from Gisele Bündchen, his focus has notably shifted towards his children. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He frequently posts about adventures with his daughter Vivian, attending his son Jack's sports events, and striving to be present in ways his football commitments previously prevented. This particular narrative, finding himself at a somewhat boisterous party with his minor child, offers an honest look into the unpredictable moments of co-parenting. While some might see this as a minor lapse in judgment, Brady's willingness to openly discuss such a personal moment is widely appreciated. He embraces the awkwardness of being a parent, admits when he's caught off guard, and manages to transform these experiences into tales that resonate with everyone, famous or not. Also Read: Ultimately, whether you've achieved Super Bowl glory or are just managing daily school runs, parenting has a way of keeping you grounded. And an early morning party with Snoop Dogg and your child beside a pole? That's certainly a memory that will endure. Tom Brady clearly hasn't forgotten it, and neither would anyone else.
