After a series of devastating stories this year, the bodybuilding world was already in tatters. However, no one was ready for the jolt of the gut-wrenching message that hit the bodybuilding world in the last few hours. The world is lamenting the loss of bodybuilder Neil Currey. Like many, elite coach Milos Sarcev was shocked to hear about his sorrowful demise.

Taking to Instagram, Milos Sarcev posted a heartfelt note reflecting his surprise and sadness. The former coach of the 34-year-old bodybuilder was among the first to confirm the news.

Milos Sarcev was devastated to hear the sad news

The Serbian coach posted a carousel of photos in which Neil Currey was smiling and posing. The choice of photograph reflected how Sarcev wanted to remember Currey. That is honoring his legacy and art. The IFBB pro informed the world that he was once a mentor to the bright soul. According to Sarcev, the 34-year-old passed away “taking his own life.”  

The coach reminisced about the time the Classic Physique champion looked happy. “My last/best memory of him was this smiling face after he won New York Pro and fulfilled his lifetime dream of qualifying for the Mr. Olympia,” wrote Sarcev in the caption. He added, “I am lost for words and filled with pain and sadness.” The news of his suicide was too much to bear for Sarcev.

Currey was a bright soul who loved bodybuilding. At a young age, he took up the sport and competed on many international platforms. In 2019, he became a Classic Physique champion, clinching seventh place at the Kuwait Pro. In 2022, he lifted the title at the New York Pro, making headway into Mr. Olympia 2022, where he stood 16th. Words fall short of describing the pain. At this sad hour, like Sarcev, the fitness community prays for strength and courage for the family.
