Ironically, a device he used to exercise his athletic body took the life of a young bodybuilder, after they fell 300 kilos (661. 3 pounds) inside a gym in Mexico City .

As it became known, the young man, whose name was not disclosed, was hit in the face by one of the Central Fitness Gym equipment which, according to the victim’s parents, was not installed correctly.

Witnesses told the police that the man was carrying out his activities as usual when the structure was detached and fell on him, practically taking his life immediately .

It is believed that the man was beaten by a bar on the right side of the face, after the weight bench on which he exercised had a defect in the support on the left side.

Some of the people who were in the gym tried to help the bodybuilder and removed the apparatus from 300 kilos that had fallen on him, but the body is already inert.
