A champion kickboxer who ridiculed the “little virus” has died aged 41 after discharging himself from hospital to treat his illness at home.
Anti-vaxxer kickboxing champion Frederic Sinistra has died from Covid complications after he discharged himself from the hospital.
The Sun reports the 41-year-old, known as The Undertaker, died at his home in Ciney, Belgium, after deciding to treat the “little virus” himself at home.
The three-time world champion, who was forced to get medical help by his coach back in November, shared pictures of himself in a hospital bed in intensive care breathing through an oxygen tube.
After discharging himself from the hospital, the heavyweight fighter reportedly treated himself with oxygen at home.
Sinistra’s death was announced by his partner in a Facebook post.
“From the bottom of my heart thank you all for your support and all your wonderful tributes to my husband,” she wrote. “My husband was a generous man with a big heart who wanted to help others no matter what.”
The athlete had previously shared a video where he could be seen struggling to breathe, saying in the caption he had “no time to waste with lazy people”.
The anti-vaxxer said in other posts that the “little virus” will not stop him while raising his objections against governments’ measures for Covid.
Sinistra was last active online on December 13 but died later in the month after going into cardiac arrest.
He was admitted to hospital after being forced to by his coach Osman Yigin, according to Sudinfo.
