On Saturday, Nicha took to her Instagram account to confirm Lindner’s death. As she explained, the bodybuilder — who was popularly known on the internet as Joesthetics — had just given her a custom-made necklace as a gift. The duo was relaxing for a few hours then, before a planned gym workout, when tragedy struck without warning.
Writing about it on her IG page for her nearly 175,000 followers, Nicha explained:
“Jo is the best place everyone. Yesterday his past away by aneurysm .. I was there with him in the room.. he put on the necklace in my neck that he made for me .. than we was just lay down cuddle.. waiting the time to go meet Noel at the gym at 16.00 .. he was in my arms.. than this is just happening too fast.”
