horn Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Ukrainian fitness influencer dies from COVID after denying it exists By Yaron SteinbuchOctober 19, 2020 | 8:52am | Updated A Ukrainian fitness influencer with 1.1 million followers on Instagram has died of the coronavirus – after previously doubting the existence of the deadly bug, according to reports. Dmitriy Stuzhuk, a buff 33-year-old who promoted healthy living, notified his fans of his diagnosis from his hospital bed, saying he woke up with breathing difficulties during a trip to Turkey and developed a cough the following day, the Sun reported. He was tested after returning to Ukraine and was diagnosed with the illness. “I was one who thought that COVID does not exist… until I got sick,” Stuzhuk wrote on Instagram. “COVID-19 IS NOT A SHORT-LIVED DISEASE! And it is heavy.” He added that his condition was “stable.” “The hospital is completely filled with people, some of them being treated in corridors,” wrote Stuzhuk, who was allowed to leave the hospital after eight days but was rushed back soon after. His ex-wife Sofia Stuzhuk, 25, the mother of his three kids, later announced that he was in “grave condition” and unconscious, according to the news outlet. “Dima (Dmitriy) had problems with his cardiovascular system… His heart is not coping,” she wrote on Instagram, where she has 5 million followers. “His state is extremely grave. No one can do anything with this. I did everything I could so the father of my three children lives. But nothing depends on me now,” she added before announcing his death. The couple — whose youngest child is just 9 months old — broke up six months ago amid “constant betrayal, cursing, showdown and stress” but recently said they were back on good terms. “Only warm memories remain, three beautiful kids and valuable experience,” Sofia wrote. “God, it is so terrible to realize that he is not with us anymore…” https://nypost.com/2020/10/19/coronavirus-denying-fitness-influencer-dies-from-covid-19/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
