MMA Fighter Guilherme Vasconcelos Dies by Suicide at 38

Guilherme 'Bomba' Vasconcelos, a 38-year-old MMA fighter known for his time in the UFC and Bellator and for dating pop star Demi Lovato, died by suicide on October 15. Law enforcement reports indicate that Vasconcelos took his own life around 11:45 PM the night before, with his body discovered the following morning in his garage. A search of his home revealed multiple vials of anabolic steroids, but no suicide note was found, and toxicology results showed only caffeine in his system.

His uncle mourned his loss, reflecting on the family's grief and the dreams Vasconcelos pursued in the United States.
