But speaking in 2016, when asked about the complications of the oil injections, he admitted to ignoring the warnings.   “The doctors tell me to stop it, the advice they give me is to stop using”, he said. “But it’s my decision to use it because I want to, because I like to.” On Monday, his choices appeared to finally catch up with him after it emerged that he had been taken to hospital. Local media suggested he had complaining of shortness of breath at his home in Ribeirao Preto, southeast Brazil. Segato’s neighbours revealed to local media that despite his millions of followers, the bodybuilder had lived as a recluse with few friends or visitors over the years. Valdir’s neighbour Moisés da Conceição da Silva said the TikTok star was rushed to hospital where he later died of a suspected heart attack, according to Brazil’s Globo news. He said: “It was around 6 am, more or less. He came crawling through the back house and came to the front. “Then he knocked on my mother’s window, knocked, knocked, then she woke up and he said ‘help me, help me because I’m dying’. “They put him in the car and then the neighbour went to the UPA. He arrived at the UPA, he fell at the reception, having a heart attack. I think he had a heart attack.” Read More on The Sun FUEL CUT Full list of supermarkets slashing petrol prices including Sainsbury's and Tesco HELLS BELLS Man gets woman kicked off flight who misses her wedding - but people are split Moises said that this was not the first time Segato was hospitalised with shortness of breath.
