A 33-year-old bodybuilder in Bali, Justyn Vicky, has di£d after breaking his neck during a July 15 visit to the gym.
Justyn was strength-training at The Paradise Bali gym in Sanur, Indonesia, when a barbell weighing more than 450 lbs. fell on his neck, according to a report in the Daily Mail.
The popular fitness influencer was killed by a barbell while trying to squat-press 210kg with a spotter behind him. “Vicky failed to complete the lift and fell forward, cascading the weight bar off his shoulders and snapping his neck and head forward,” Bali Discovery reported.
“The weight snapped Vicky’s head forward, breaking his neck, and leading to compression of the nerves to his heart and respiratory systems,” according to Bali Express.
After the accident, Justyn was rushed to a local hospital with a broken neck. He died shortly after an emergency operation, despite the surgeons’ best efforts to save his life.
