A 72-year-old bodybuilder from Wuhan, China died from the new coronavirus on 6th February, reported Chinese media. News about this came as a shock to many as the 72-year-old was known to be really active and fit.

It was on 18th January when Qiu Jun was working out at his gym as usual. His students were a little worried about him as the Wuhan virus had begun spreading rapidly in the city, and told him not to stay in the gym too much.

When it was made known that the virus could be transmitted between humans, Qiu Jun was still going to the gym.

He was supposed to take part in a bodybuilding event in June, the same contest where he won second place in the elderly category in 2019. He wanted to compete till he was 80.

On 23rd January, the city of Wuhan was put on lockdown, leaving Qiu Jun no choice but to stop going to the gym.

RIP Qiu Jun.
