Former
Ultimate Fighting Championship and Bellator
MMA competitor Guilherme
Vasconcelos took his own life last year.
According to TMZ Sports, the case report from Oct. 15
reveals that police determined that Vasconcelos committed suicide
the previous night at approximately 11:45 p.m. local time. “Bomba”
was found by an unidentified woman in the garage of the Illinois
residence at 9 a.m. the next day.
A suicide note was not found, and a toxicology report only revealed
the presence of caffeine in Vasconcelo’s system. The house was
searched and several vials of anabolic steroids were recovered. Two
were nearly empty and two were unopened, according to the report.
Vasconcelos was 38 years old.
Vasconcelos went 10-6 over the course of an MMA career that began
in 2012. After competing on “TUF Brazil 3,” his lone Octagon
appearance came at UFC 175, where he dropped a unanimous decision
to Luke
Zachrich on July 5, 2014. “Bomba” also went 3-3 during a
six-bout stint with Bellator from 2016 to 2019. His last
professional MMA appearance was a unanimous decision loss to
Derek
Anderson at Bellator 229 on Oct. 4, 2019. He was also known for
dating pop star Demi Lovato.
