The online fitness community was dealt a terrible blow on June 30th, 2023 when Jo Lindner, known online as Joesthetics, passed away at the age of 30. As tributes flooded social media, fans began to wonder how such an in-shape athlete could have died so young.
Lindner had become well-known as a fitness influencer and bodybuilder, amazing over 8 million followers on his Instagram account, and nearly 1 million subscribers to his fitness and weightlifting-focused Youtube channel.
How did Joesthetics die?
According to a post by Lindner’s girlfriend, @immapeaches, he passed away from an aneurysm. They had been spending time together on June 30th when Lindner suddenly passed away. According to the post, he had been feeling a pain in his neck for a number of days before passing, although it is impossible to know at this time if that was connected to his passing.
An aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel that is caused by a weakness in the blood vessel wall. Increased blood pressure in the area of the weakness can result in the vessel wall bulging outward.
Lindner, who was famous for staying shredded almost all year around, had been working toward getting his pro card. The German had moved to Thailand in recent years and was known for his high-energy attitude and dedicated focus on his physique and community.
The announcement of his passing was a shock to the community and was sadly confirmed by Noel Deyzel, one of Lindners best friends. Deyzel had been due to attend the gym that day with Lindner, and went on to describe him as a generous who had recently been at his happiest and most passionate.
