When a woman attempted to lift a 180kg barbell, she was crushed to death.
On Monday, February 21, the fitness fanatic attempted to raise the weight at the Gym Fitness Sport gym in Mexico.
The event was captured on camera and uploaded on the internet.
A man can be seen adjusting the weight before the woman positions herself beneath it in the footage.
She tries to grasp the barbell, but it falls and crushes her neck, killing her instantly.
A man and a young woman rushed to her aid and attempted to liberate her, but they were unable to lift the weight.
Two more people join in and successfully raise the weight. It was, unfortunately, too late at that point.
The woman was not identified in local media, but she was claimed to be between the ages of 35 and 40.
According to local news sources, her daughter has been profoundly affected by the tragedy and is undergoing psychological help.
The state prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation into the incident.
The gym owner, who has not been identified, was reportedly arrested for a short period of time.
