A popular fitness influencer died after falling into a ravine while shooting reels in southern Italy. He has been identified as Giorgi ‘Tzane’ Janelidze, 23. The unfortunate mishap occurred in Roghudi Vecchio, an ancient mountain village in Calabria, people.com reported.
If reports are to be believed, Tzane slipped and fell as the balcony had no railings. On being informed, fire-fighters rushed to the spot, but failed to retrieve his body. Later, they had to deploy helicopters and search for his body in the ravine.
After hours of search operation, his body was finally retrieved.
“Tzane is no longer with us. Please pray with us for his soul to rest in peace,” shared his friend, Chris Kogias, who was with him during the trip.
Originally from Georgia, Tzane was a Greek resident and had over 106K followers on Instagram and mostly uploaded fitness-related videos. He was a fitness freak and loved tattoos on his body. His latest Instagram video was about a protein powder he co-founded with another influencer ‘Dream Greek’.
News of his death has sparked an outpouring of grief among his friends, family, and followers on social media. His girlfriend also dedicated a special Instagram post for him and wrote, “He was the most beautiful person inside and out. So unfair, so early. I love you so much. We will meet again.”
