Retired IFBB Pro Men’s Open bodybuilder Eugene Mishin, also known as Evgeny Mishin, has died. He was 48 years old. Dave Palumbo of RxMuscle broke the news on his Instagram page, confirming Mishin’s passing on Friday, Aug. 16, 2024.

According to Palumbo, Mishin stopped breathing, and paramedics tried reviving him for 45 minutes. Mishin’s death was unexpected as he was active on his Instagram account less than 24 hours before his passing. No cause of death is confirmed at the time of this publication.

Mishin’s pro bodybuilding career began in 2002 after he won the IFBB European Championships. He competed from 2003 until 2011. Mishin did not win a pro show, but he competed on the Mr. Olympia stage in 2010 and 2011 thanks to his top three placings in the Orlando Pro in those seasons — a top-three finish in any show garnered an Olympia qualification at the time.

Away from the stage, Mishin was known for his work as an actor in various commercials, such as the one below for DirecTV

In recent years, Mishin has been active as a coach for other bodybuilders.

Funeral arrangements were not publicly available at the time.
