The ace was also an actor in German Netflix show Dogs of Berlin

He underwent surgery three months ago and was later involved in a major car crash

The tragedy occurred three months after he underwent surgery to reattach a torn pectoral muscle.

And the ace also recently escaped from a major car crash with minor injuries to his vertebra and legs.

Pirbazari had been documenting his return to fitness for his 90,000 Instagram followers.

His final post went up a day before his death.

The star said: “My current form after 12 weeks without exercise or much exercise.

“Of course, it’s no comparison to before, but I’m on the right track given the circumstances.

“Unfortunately, I’ve put on a lot of muscle, but that’ll all come back when I can get going again.

“I’m happy to be back in the gym at all and am focusing entirely on leg training and cardio.

“I’m trying intervals on the treadmill right now, but since my legs aren’t 100% healed yet, I’m taking it slowly.

“The only thing that’s important to me right now is not to give up and to let go, and to get better day by day, week by week. Have a nice Sunday friends.”

As well as being a bodybuilder, Pirbazari was also well known in Germany for his role in a popular Netflix show.

The ace appeared in 2018’s Dogs of Berlin, which saw police investigate the murder of a fictional Turkish-German football star.

Tributes were paid online, with one fan saying: “RIP champ.”

Another declared: “I don’t want to believe it.”

One noted: “Shocked and sad.”

Another added: “Condolences to his loved ones.”
