Indian Aditya Dev was born with dwarfism. Usually, people with this diagnosis should take care of themselves, because their bones and muscles are more vulnerable than in ordinary people. But in the case of Aditya it is not so. In shape, he was a healthy copy of an ordinary person. Therefore, playing sports was easy for him. At the age of 16, the man began to get involved in bodybuilding. Aditya had a personal trainer who made sure that the exercises didn’t harm the dwarf.

He was so good at it that he was able to lift 44 lbs, with his own weight of 22 lbs. At the age of 19, Aditya got into the Guinness Book of Records as the smallest bodybuilder in the world. In the same momentous year that Aditya set the record, he was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. That is, one of the arteries of the brain is gradually filled with blood and can suddenly burst – there will be a hemorrhage in the brain. This disease is called a “time bomb” because it is difficult to predict exactly when a person’s life will end.

Aditya didn’t lose heart and continued to develop his career. He created his own dance show program, which included performances from bodybuilding. But money for the athlete was not the main goal. He wanted to be noticed by his favorite artist Jazzy-B and invited to perform together in London. But everything turned out differently. On September 13, 2012, Aditya lost consciousness, he was taken to the hospital, but it was too late. The aneurysm allowed the athlete to live only 23 years. It came as a surprise even to those closest to him.

This tragedy is a special blow to the athlete’s parents, who will now mourn the loss for the rest of their lives.
