Popular German bodybuilder Jo Lindner, commonly known as Joesthetics on Instagram, has died in Thailand, reportedly from an aneurysm; an abnormal swelling or bulge in the wall of a blood vessel.
The death of the 30 year old gym enthusiast was confirmed by his girlfriend Nicha on Saturday 1st of July.
The fitness influencer’s girlfriend posted pictures of herself with Lindner on her Instagram feed, Nicha paid tribute to the YouTuber she desribed as sweet, kind, and hardworking.
According to reports, Linder had complained of neck pains earlier in the week and had passed away while his girlfriend was present.
Recall that in an interview with fellow bodybuilder Bradley Martyn last month, Lindner spoke about being diagnosed with rippling muscle disease, a rare genetic condition that causes muscles to become unusually sensitive to movement or pressure.
Dockaysworld reports that Joesthetics was popular across the world with 8.8 million Instagram followers, and about 500 million views on YouTube.
His girlfriend praised him for being brave enough to reveal that he’d used steroids when alive and called on fans and others to desist from spreading rumors that he died from an overdose.
