Bodybuilding star Andre Cavalcanti was tragically killed last week … after he was involved in a horrific accident on a roadway in Brazil.
The crash reportedly happened on July 5 in the northern region of Parana … when a 17-year-old allegedly took his parents’ car without their permission and went on a joyride with two other minors.
The teen was reportedly cruising down BR-369 road … when he suddenly collided head-on with Cavalcanti, who was atop his motorcycle.
Cavalcanti was thrown from his ride and later pronounced dead at the scene. Reportedly, the teenage driver was taken to a nearby hospital.
Tributes for the athlete have poured in since his passing … with the Paraná Bodybuilding Federation saying in a statement Cavalcanti will be truly missed.
“It was such a young life, full of plans,” the org. wrote. “We ask God to comfort his family with the news of this tragedy.”
“André was a great athlete, friend, partner and will always be remembered as the honest and dedicated person that he was. We had a great loss here on earth, but heaven gains a gift.”
Cavalcanti was just 34 years old.
