Frederic Sinistra has died from Covid
An anti-vaxxer kickboxing champion has died after he refused to accept Covid is dangerous and tried to treat himself at home.
Frederic Sinistra, 41, discharged himself from a hospital in Liege, Belgium, after denying he had been infected with Covid which he described as a “little virus”, the Express reports.
But the three-time world champion died with complications relating to the virus in the small Belgian city of Ciney just weeks later.
This comes as Boris Johnson is expected to review the data today to decide if England will introduce fresh Covid restrictions.
Reports claim the 41-year-old, known as the ‘Undertaker’, told his followers on social media he would treat his symptoms away from the hospital.
Frederic Sinistra was a multiple-time champion at kickboxing
Posts shared to Sinistra’s Facebook page showed the kickboxing champion, who had a 39 win to nine loss record, lying in bed at an intensive care ward with an oxygen tube in his nose.
However, Sinistra also posted a video to his 37,000 Facebook followers in which he seemed to have some difficulty breathing.
He added the caption “no time to waste with lazy people”.
He refused to acknowledge he had Covid and discharged himself from hospital
In other posts he called Covid the “little virus” and voiced opposition to the Government’s measures to halt the spread of coronavirus.
Local reports suggest the kickboxer only entered hospital after being forced to do so by his coach Osman Yigin, 50.
Speaking to Belgian news outlet SudInfo, Mr Yigin claimed he told Sinistra he would not train the three-time world champion unless he went to hospital to receive medical attention.
