In recent hours, the death of Alix Small, a Scottish influencer focused on fitness, at the age of 26 has been reported. The exact causes of her passing and the specific date, which would have been last week, are still unknown.
The news of her death has been confirmed by Alix's mother and a close friend. "We are devastated to hear the terrible news of the passing of two-time Fitness Pro winner and Olympian alixsmallll," shared the specialized account Beyond The Stage TV. about the incident.
The young woman, who overcame anorexia at just 15 years old, dedicated her life to bodybuilding, where she became a professional and achieved great success. She was the winner of the European Pro Championship held in Spain, as well as the Mr. Big Evolution Pro 2022 in Portugal.
"People think bodybuilding is an aesthetic sport, and it is, but you have to set aside the physical aspect and focus on performance," the athlete stated in an interview with STV News.
Recently, health issues had kept Alix away from competitions. It is unclear whether these problems ultimately led to her death. "You were such a fun, caring, and attentive person, and I will always remember the kindness you showed me," wrote her fellow bodybuilder Phoebe Goodwin as a tribute.
