An aneurysm is caused by the thinning or weakening of the blood vessels, resulting in the enlargement or rupturing of an artery.
Fans have been speculating about the role of performance-enhancing drugs and if they could have possibly contributed to his death.
Using anabolic steroids can cause some side effects like aortic dissection. This, in turn, can result in hypertension and atherosclerosis which are causes of aneurysm.
But it should be noted that no official connection has been detected between Lindner's death and his alleged use of steroids.
Jo Lindner: 'Joesthetics' was worried about suffering a heart attack.
The news of Jo Lindner's death came as a shock to many in the fitness industry. There was an outpouring of love and tributes by many of 'Joesthetics' fans on social media. Several people took to Twitter to mourn the loss of the bodybuilder.
"30 is way too young. Gotta watch out for that mystery neck pain," wrote @bodybldgfan.
"Such sad news. May he rest in peace," wrote @ccpov.
Prior to his demise, 'Joesthetics' had done an interview with Bradley Marten for Bradley Martyn Raw Talk. During his time there, the bodybuilder had revealed that he suffered from ripping muscle disease which could make the muscles extremely sensitive to movement and cause them to contract upon a bump or contact.
"The heart is also a muscle, that’s my biggest concern that what if I get such a bad cramp that my heart gets a cramp... That makes me scared. That's why I'm staying away from bodybuilding competitions too much."
