Valdir Segato, a popular bodybuilder from Brazil, recently passed away, on his birthday, in his native country due to a suspected heart attack. The 55-year-old rose to prominence in the area after gaining fanfare because of his bulging muscular physique. Unfortunately for Segata, the process that he used to obtain his outward appearance contributed heavily to his deteriorating health. According to reports, the body builder consistently injected his biceps with a deadly synthetic oil, despite numerous warnings from medical experts that his actions could eventually lead to heart failure, the amputation of body parts and/or a stroke. Segata chose not to heed the warnings. Instead, the man nicknamed the "Brazilian Hulk" continued with the injections, as his popularity skyrocketed on social media platforms such as TikTok, where he had millions of followers.
Segato was living in a secluded area with friends and family when he suddenly became struck with breathing complications. So, in a desperate effort to save his life, he crawled through his neighbor's backhouse to ask for help.
"It was around 6 am, more or less. He came crawling through the back house and came to the front," said Moisés da Conceição da Silva, one of Segato's neighbors. "Then he knocked on my mother's window, knocked, knocked, then she woke up, and he said, 'help me, help me because I'm dying."
Shortly after the paramedics arrived, Segato was rushed to the hospital, where he reportedly collapsed at the receptionist's desk. He was later pronounced dead, despite the medical team's efforts to salvage his life.
