The athlete had complications during a “simple” surgery, according to friends
The death of Brazilian bodybuilder Christian Figueiredo at the age of 29, this Monday (16), took many fans of the fitness world by surprise. The athlete was undergoing a “simple” surgery when “complications” led, according to his friends, to cardiac arrest.
