There have been several reports claiming that bodybuilder Victor Richards is no more. However, it has recently been confirmed that Richards is still alive.
Generation Iron, who reported the death of the bodybuilder, has now confirmed that the reports of his death were false. One of Richards’ family members also confirmed that he is alive and doing well.
Victor Richards' daughter, who remained silent all this time, reached out directly to Generation Iron and confirmed that her father is still alive. She also spoke to her father following reports of his death. Richards has not yet commented on anything regarding the false news.
The bodybuilder's daughter said her father was alive and well, and an inaccurate Facebook post led to a lineup of false information on social media and news outlets. She thanked everyone and appreciated the love the bodybuilding community has shown to her father.
Generation Iron and Andreas Cahling initially reported Victor Richards’ death
The news of Victor Richards' death came out on November 10 after the General Iron Fitness Network and other bodybuilding outlets paid tribute to him. Although the cause of death was said to be a heart attack, there was no confirmation.
The first tribute was posted by bodybuilder Andreas Cahling. Generation Iron’s report mentioned that they did not get confirmation from any of the family members and Richards’ representative.
