The bodybuilding world is saddened by the death of Guilherme Henrique, a 30-year-old Brazilian athlete who had a lot of success and many fans. His partner shared that he passed away from asphyxiation caused by bronchoaspiration. It’s still not clear how it happened, but Brazilian officials have reportedly asked for an autopsy to learn more.

“The cause of his death was asphyxiation due to bronchoaspiration and has nothing to do with the speculation that has been circulating.

If you don’t have anything good to say, a word of affection, consolation, or respect, simply keep quiet. 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,” wrote Jéssica Belenello.
