The world's smallest bodybuilder has died at the age of 23.

Aditya "Romeo" Dev made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 2008 thanks to his diminutive size.

Standing at just 2ft 9ins tall and weighing 10kgs, Romeo was able to lift 1.5kg dumbbells and also enjoyed aerobics and dance.





He had been rushed to Satyam Hospital, in Jalandhar, Punjab, after collapsing at home and falling unconscious.

His father Anil Dev Sharma, 53, said: "He was absolutely fine until last night when he suddenly fell unconscious. We rushed him to the hospital and he fell into a coma, he was unconscious all night. Doctors said the nerve supplying blood to his brain had ruptured, causing his death.


"It's a huge loss for our family, we will be grieving his death till for the rest of our life. We were told by doctors many years ago that he may die at an early age. All these years we prayed for his long life."

Doctor Neeraj Chandan, one of the doctors who treated Romeo, said: "He was brought to the hospital in an unconscious state. It was due to massive bleeding which had caused brain damage or aneurism bleeding. There were very rare chances of him surviving."
