Fitness influencer Giorgi “Tzane” Janelidze, 23, tragically died on Wednesday when he fell into a ravine while he and his friends explored an abandoned Italian ghost town while he was filming content for social media.
The incident occurred in a content shoot in Roghudi Vecchio, Calabria, an ancient mountain village that was abandoned in the 1970s due to a flood. As reported by Jam Press, Janelidze lost his footing and fell into a deep ravine while he was on a balcony without a railing.
Emergency services were called to the scene, but the steepness of the gorge meant a helicopter was required to retrieve Janelidze’s body. With the assistance of a stretcher, the helicopter successfully lifted his body from the ravine. Janelidze’s remains were then transported to the coastal town of Saline Joniche and handed over to the authorities.
Born in Georgia, Janelidze lived in Greece and gained popularity within fitness circles on Instagram, where he regularly shared workout routines and travel snapshots with his extensive followers, over 100,000 followers. Additionally, he co-founded a business with fellow fitness influencer “Dream Greek,” where they sold T-shirts and protein powder online.
