Guilherme Henrique, infamous as Gui Bull, a celebrated figure in the Maringa, Parana's sports and fitness scene, has tragically passed away at the tender age of 30. The exact cause of his demise remains unknown as authorities are yet to release the autopsy report.

More tragically, the bodybuilding world has experienced a series of untimely deaths in recent months. Gui Bull's demise follows the findings of the Mexican bodybuilder found dead in the restroom of a bar, Germany's Netflix star Vittorio Pirbazari who collapsed on a treadmill and died in April [Mexican bodybuilder found dead in restroom of a bar, German Netflix star bodybuilder collapsed and died while on a gym treadmill - read more], and Jodi Vance, a young bodybuilder who suffered a fatal heart attack at age 20 during the Arnold Sports Festival [Bodybuilder Jodi Vance died aged 20 following a heart attack - read more].

Shockingly, even with academic achievements in biochemistry or related fields, the pressures and risks associated with intense bodybuilding training make these individuals no less susceptible to premature death. Some common causes include aortic dissection, genetic heart defects, heart attacks, complications from kidney failure, and excessive overtraining [Common causes of sudden death in professional bodybuilders].
