He had reportedly cancelled training sessions one day before his death as he felt unwell and planned to see a doctor according to messages sent in the Ostorozhno Novosti Telegram channel, via The Daily Mail.
He had been documenting his weight gain online, showing off weigh-ins and his diet that included pastries, dumplings, burgers and pizza.
By mid-November, he claimed he had gained 13kg (about 28 pounds) in a month.
“I am currently gaining weight for my weight-loss course, and this is my 10,000-calorie diet. For breakfast, I have a plate of pastries and half a cake. For lunch, I usually eat 800 grams of dumplings with mayonnaise. During the day, I may snack on crisps, and for dinner, I have a burger and two small pizzas, either at a café or delivered,” he said, per Daily Mail.
He worked as a personal coach for a decade, having graduated from the Orenburg Olympic Reserve School and the National Fitness University in St. Petersburg, Russia.
