A man has died at the age of 33 after collapsing on stage during a body building competition in England.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Sunday 18 October, just one day before his birthday, Mateusz Chmura collapsed while competing in the Physical Culture Association (PCA) British Finals at the Telford International Centre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Medics rushed to Mr Chmura\u2019s aid and treated him at the scene until paramedics arrived, PCA said in a statement on Instagram.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He was taken to a nearby hospital a short time later where medical staff battled to save his life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But despite the efforts of doctors and nurses, Mr Chmura died in hospital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After discussions between organisers and contestant, the decision was made to allow the event to continue after Mr Chmura was transported to hospital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But PCA said they made the call before the event had been alerted to Mr Chmura\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe event was stopped while Mateusz was treated,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cOnce he had left the venue for hospital, and before news of his death was known, we held a meeting with the athletes, and the decision to resume was taken following that meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The international bodybuilding and fitness federation also thanked first responders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cOur heartfelt thanks go to the on-site medics, the trained medical professionals from the audience who stepped forward to assist, Midlands Air Ambulance and the hospital staff for everything they did for Mateusz,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cTo everyone else who helped in any way, thank you. Your efforts will not be forgotten.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe ask that the privacy of his loved ones be respected at this very difficult time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWhat happened was deeply distressing for everyone in attendance, and it is completely normal to be struggling with it. Please do not carry this alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Chmura leaves behind devastated wife, Patrycja Chmura, who said she was blown away by the outpouring of support during the \u201cdifficult time\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI want to thank every single person who has reached out, left a comment, sent a message or simply taken a moment to think about Mateusz,\u201d she wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI am reading every single comment, and I cannot begin to explain how much your kindness means to me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI am going through something incredibly painful, and right now I simply do not have the words or strength to say much more.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ms Chmura warned good Samaritans that a fraudulent fundraiser had been set up in the wake of her husband\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI have not authorised anyone to collect money on behalf of me or my family,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI would never want anyone to lose their hard-earned money because they are trying to help us during such a difficult time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The cause of Mr Chmura\u2019s sudden collapse has not yet been revealed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
