Aussie bodybuilder's post before accident leaves him in coma
Australian actor and bodybuilder Calum von Moger is in an induced coma after falling from the second-floor window of a house.
According to bodybuilding publication Generation Iron, Mr von Moger is fighting for his life after undergoing surgery for injuries suffered from the accident on May 6.
Fellow bodybuilder and Youtuber Nick Trigili said in a video posted on his YouTube channel, BodyBuilding & BS, that the 31-year-old was allegedly under the influence of drugs at the time of the incident and was suffering with mental health issues.
Just last week, Mr Moger had posted an emotional Instagram post admitting he's "messed up bad many times", asking for forgiveness.
Police allegedly found Mr von Moger in possession of drugs of dependence, including methylamphetamine and cannabis, in Melbourne on January 31, the Herald Sun reported.
In the YouTube video, Mr Trigili said Calum was injured “pretty bad” in the incident, damaging his spine to the point of not being able to walk.
“They had to call an ambulance and now he’s sedated in ICU,” he said.
He added Mr von Moger is now fighting for his life and had also recently suffered some “stupid injuries in the gym”.
Mr Trigili also referred to Instagram stories Mr von Moger posted before his accident blaming his friends and family — particularly his parents — for abandoning him, showing a screenshot Mr von Moger had posted alleging his father told him to move out.
"He seems to be triggered and I feel like this current event that just happened to him with him jumping out the window allegedly it seems like it was triggered because he was upset by the probably because of his parents, the way they treated him".
