The 23-year-old fitness influencer Giorgi “Tzane” Janelidze is dead. According to consistent media reports, Janelidze died after falling into a ravine near an abandoned Italian village.
His death was confirmed by his friend and fellow influencer Chris Kogias, who accompanied him on the trip.
"Tzane is no longer with us," said Kogias, according to Greek media.
“Please pray with us that his soul may rest in peace.”
According to the reports, the accident occurred when Janelidze wanted to produce content in Roghudi Vecchio;
the mountain village was abandoned in 1973 after two catastrophic floods.
The bodybuilder fell from a balcony without a railing into a deep ravine.
The fire brigade could only rescue him dead.
Janelidze, who was born in Georgia and lived in Greece, was a fixture in fitness circles on Instagram.
There he often showed his over 100,000 followers training and travel photos.
