Hossein Sheybani has passed away due to the virus sweeping the globe.

It appears that the global health crisis has taken another victim. Iranian bodybuilder Hossein Sheybani has reportedly passed away due to the sickness still ravaging the globe. Sadly it took the life of Hossein a truly accomplished bodybuilder.

Hossein Sheybani once took top honors at the 2015 Arnold Classic Amateurs in the Masters division. Bodybuilding was not just a hobby for Hossein but a lifestyle. Hossein showed his prowess by winning in multiple weight categories at the Arnold Classic Europe back in 2015. That includes an overall victory in the Masters division.


Cryptic Words

His cryptic last message on his Instagram was truly a sad one. In his final few posts to his account, a clear picture was painted. It was obvious that Hossein Sheybani was struggling and that his health was rapidly declining.

Via Google Translate:

Dear friends

Because

Thank you very much for your humble servant

I do not know with what words and sentences you deserve your kindness

Thank you gentlemen

If you called and my humble servant, I would not answer

Carrying disrespect to you is not noble

Forgive me for being short

The only reason is that my blood oxygen drops sharply as I speak

I hope you forgive me

I love you

Be together like a mountain

From yourself, your family, your friends and fellow citizens, and finally

Support the entire Iranian people

Nothing will preserve this land like unity and empathy

I touch your tectonics

And I die for the pride of Iran

After spending two weeks in the hospital, Hossein Sheybani would eventually succumb to the sickness and pass away. Sources close to Generation Iron have confirmed the bodybuilder’s passing.

The virus is claiming lives at a rapid rate across the globe. In Iran the sickness kills approximately 500 people per day. While vaccines are being administered and the world is doing its best to combat the virus, people are still losing their lives.

It will take a continued effort to combat and put an end to this sickness once and for all.

The Generation Iron team extends deep condolences to the family and friends of Hossein Sheybani.
