A BRAZILIAN bodybuilder and fitness influencer has tragically died aged 29 after being rushed to hospital with Covid.
Jonas, who regularly showed off his well-honed body on social media, was rushed to Sao Jose Hospital in the Ceara state capital Fortaleza in the early hours of April 15.
The influencer left his 10,400 Instagram followers worried after he published photos of himself on a respirator shortly after his admission.
It has since emerged that he was diagnosed with pneumonia shortly after, and then Covid-19.
His death on Thursday at the same hospital was confirmed late on April 19.
