Bodybuilder Grishall Disner was only 23 years old and was shot to death inside a bar restroom. His body was discovered Wednesday night with police unsure of what happened in the moments leading up to his passing.
Grishall Disner was full of promise, having quickly made waves as a skilled bodybuilder. He won the Mr. America Jr. event and regularly kept fans updated on his fitness through social media. He amassed over 4,000 followers on the platform, showcasing intense workouts, physique updates, and interacting with fans who were inspired by his work ethic.
Moments before the tragic event took place, Disner walked away from his table at the Kows bar to use the restroom. People inside the bar heard two loud gunshots, and when they looked in the bathroom, they discovered Disner’s lifeless body. As a result, people at the bar quickly left the scene so police could conduct a proper and thorough investigation.
Some believe that Grishall Disner shot himself, as many noted that he sustained gunshot wounds to his stomach and head, though as of this writing, those speculations have not been substantiated. Paramedics confirmed he died at the scene following the incident. Currently, law enforcement is looking into CCTV footage to surmise what happened to this aspiring bodybuilding talent.
