In July, Gabriel wanted to go on stage
Particularly bitter: According to reports, Gabriel was currently preparing for the Brasil muscle contest. The competition is scheduled to take place in Curitiba in July. For him it would have been the next big step in sport.
Even before his death, people were talking about his hard preparation. An older video is now causing a stir again. In it, Gabriel said that after an extremely strict diet, he had gained around 20 kilos within two days. A nutritionist at the time classified the case as a severe rebound effect of the body. There is no confirmed connection to his death.
The investigation must now show what exactly happened in the apartment in São Paulo. For now, all that remains for his fans is bewilderment. A young athlete who had so much to do is suddenly no longer there. What remains is endless sadness.
