Ibrahim received the news of Vittorio’s death on Monday and said it threw him “completely off track.” He proceeded to wish Vittorio’s family “a lot of strength” amid the tragedy.
A second friend said he was “shocked and speechless” to receive the news, sharing in an IG post:
“What a helpful and kind person u were… anyone who REALLY knows you will be able to attest to this! Long before all this social media YouTube s**t, you gave advice and help to ANYONE and ANYTIME without asking or expecting anything in return… Just because you were how you were… JUST A GOOD PERSON!”
It sounds like a lot of people loved him.
As of now, it’s not 100% certain what caused his death, but according to multiple outlets, including Germany’s Bild, his friend has suggested Vittorio died of a heart attack while running on a treadmill after getting back into training following a muscle injury.
That’s so incredibly tragic… Our hearts are with his loved ones. Rest in peace.
