Fitness influencer Dmitriy Stuzhuk died at the age of 33 after testing positive for coronavirus. Previously, Dmitriy asserted that the virus didn’t exist.
Three days ago, Stuzhuk, from Ukraine, took to Instagram updating the 1.1 million followers of his condition, having contracted Covid-19. Take a look at his post here:
Sharing pictures from his hospital bed, he wrote that during a recent trip to Turkey, he woke up one night with breathing difficulties, developing a cough the next day.
When he returned to Ukraine, Stuzhuk got himself tested for coronavirus, which came positive.
“I was one who thought that Covid does not exist… until I got sick,” he said in his Instagram post.
“COVID-19 IS NOT A SHORT-LIVED DISEASE! And it is heavy.”
At the end of the caption he said that his condition was “stable”.
Later, Stuzhuk’s ex-wife Sofia Stuzhuk, with whom he had three children, announced on Instagram that he had died.
Ms Stuzhuk shared a photograph of her and her ex-husband on the beach with their children at sunset. Their youngest child is nine months old.
The 25-year-old, who is also an influencer, then shared a second post dedicated to Stuzhuk, featuring another picture of them with their children.
“For the rest of my life I will remain grateful to you for our three beautiful children,” she wrote.
“For all the invaluable experience. And for who I have become with you.”
