According to Daily Mail, Valdir Segato had been using Synthol injections for years despite risking strokes and infections to produce hulking biceps, pectorals and back muscles.
Segato previously said he was inspired by the physiques of Arnold Schwarzenegger and fictional characters like The Hulk, and spoke of how he was proud to be known on the streets as ‘the monster’.
Six years ago he was warned he faced amputation, or at the very least nerve damage and muscle disfigurement if he continued to use the injections to bulk himself out.

He was taken to the hospital but could not be saved.
