The sudden death of renowned bodybuilder and nine-time event champion, Yogesh has left the fitness community grappling with grief and disbelief . The 41-year-old fitness icon died on Sunday, moments after a workout session at a gym in Korattur, Chennai, where he had achieved the Mr. Tamil Nadu title just last year.
After an intense hour-long workout, he exited the floor, informing his colleagues that he felt drained and intended to unwind with a steam bath. Concerned, his coworkers decided to check on him in the locked bathroom half an hour later. Upon receiving no reply, they decided to pry the door open, only to find Yogesh unconscious on the floor. He was rushed to the Government Kilpauk Medical College and Hospital (KMCH), where medical professionals pronounced him dead.
