Bodybuilder Justyn Vicky, 33, Dies After 400-Pound Weight Breaks His Neck
A 33-year-old Indonesian bodybuilder and influencer died in Bali on Saturday after a tragic weightlifting accident.
According to Bali Discovery, Vicky was working out on the squat rack with a spotter when the incident occurred. “Vicky failed to complete the lift and fell forward, cascading the weight bar off his shoulders and snapping his neck and head forward,” the outlet reported.
Vicky was reportedly lifting a weight of 180 kilograms, just under 400 pounds.
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.
Vicky was rushed to a local hospital where doctors performed emergency surgery, but the young bodybuilder died from his injuries.
