Wanderson’s destroyed coach wrote on social media: “I have no words to describe the depth of sorrow and shock that I still feel.
“He was not a athlete, he was a great friend, a family man, a man with a huge heart who was always willing to help those who needed him.
“We can only mourn his loss and ask God to comfort his family and all of us.
“You are and will always be part of our team and family.”
The event was held in the Jose Abrao Gymnasium and was part of a National Bodybuilding Federation Program.
