The world's tiniest bodybuilder, Aditya 'Romeo' Dev, died today at age 23.
Early this morning, Dev was rushed to Satyam Hospital in Punjab, India, where doctors were unable to revive him.
"He was brought to the hospital in an unconscious state," Dr. Nerraj Chandanone at Satyam Hospital told The Daily Mail. "It was due to massive bleeding which had caused brain damage or aneurism bleeding. There were very rare chances of him surviving."
In 2008, Dev had been diagnosed with two brain aneurisms, a common symptom of being a dwarf. Doctors had warned Dev that at any time, without warning, his aneurism could burst and lead to a fatal stroke.
Dev's father, Anil Dev Sharma, 53, and mother, Rakesh Bala, 49, are devastated at the news of their son's death.
"He was absolutely fine until last night when he suddenly fell unconscious. We rushed him to the hospital and he fell into a coma, he was unconscious all night. Doctors said the nerve supplying blood to his brain had ruptured, causing his death," Sharma told local reporters. "It's a huge loss for our family, we will be grieving his death for the rest of our life. We were told by doctors many years ago that he may die at an early age. All these years we prayed for his long life."
Standing at only 2 feet, 9 inches and a mere 19 pounds, Dev told " Good Morning America" in 2009 the most he ever lifted was 10 pounds - about half his weight.
"From the very beginning I liked lifting the dumbbells and lifting weights," he said through a translator. "I used to watch wrestling when I was a small kid and that's how I got inspired."
His hard work paid off. The Guinness Book of World Records dubbed him the world's smallest body builder in 2006.
In 2009, Dev told "GMA" he considered himself to be the strongest dwarf in the world. He used a regimen that included 3.3-pound custom-designed dumbbells from his trainer and was able to bulk up to the size of an average 2-year-old.
His chest measurement was 20 inches and his exercise routine included aerobics and dance. Dev said he never let his size stop him from doing anything, even though his height was only about as tall as a baseball bat.

Poor guy lived a short life.....

Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason to live.
They got little hands,
Little eyes,
They walk around tellin' great big lies.
They got little noses,
Tiny little teeth,
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet.
Well I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people 'round here.
(Short people are just the same as you and I.)
A fool such as I.
(All men are brothers until the day they die.)
It's a wonderful world.
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody to love
They got little baby legs
They stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello.
They got little cars
That go beep beep beep.
They got little voices
Goin' peep peep peep.
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds.
They're gonna get you
Every time.
Well I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people 'round here.

No, he was a dwarf. Not all dwarfs have disproportionate bodies, if that's where you're coming from with that statement (and "midget" is considered an insult by the smaller peeps, not a medical term). I've been around a number of achondroplastic dwarfs during my science days and they are very different in appearance, with the short limbs and large heads than this fellow, but there are different causes of dwarfism.
RIP little guy.

RIP little guy.
Off the top of my head there are anchondroplasic,pseudo-anchondroplasic,pituitary and primordial dwarfs.
Anchondroplasic are ones with the bulbous heads.Pseudos don't have bulbous heads and are supposed to be quite jolly, Pituitary dwarfs have normal proportions.Primordials are the smallest.
Dev was a primordial dwarf.
All beside the point . RIP to the little man.
