The bar reportedly fell forward onto his neck, causing “a broken neck and critical compression of vital nerves connecting to his heart and lungs.” He was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery, but died shortly after.
He had just posted a video demonstrating the squats, calling it “one of the most dangerous” exercises that “done properly, which it seldom is, a barbell squat need not be all that dangerous…done properly, a barbell squat is capable of producing degrees of muscle mass increase that cannot be produced by any other exercise…it’s dangerous as hell.”
The Paradise Bali paid tribute on social media, calling him “more than just a fitness expert; he was a beacon of inspiration, motivation, and unwavering support.”
