Bodybuilder Faramarz Azizi, who made waves in the Iranian circuit, has sadly passed away. News of his death spread across social media platforms on Nov. 15, 2025.
Though information is limited at the time of this writing, some online sources indicate that he died ‘suddenly’ at 30 years old due to a suspected heart attack. His brother, Farhad Azizi, stated that Azizi recently underwent a heart operation. He also revealed that Azizi was removed from the Iranian National Team Roster, which contributed to his health decline.
Azizi was an extremely passionate bodybuilder and led an impressive amateur career. He competed at the stacked 2025 NPC Armenian and took home first place, showcasing detailed striations and his signature V-taper. Beyond that triumph, Azizi claimed bronze at the 2013 Asian Championship and secured gold at the 2018 Asian Championship, a testament to his consistency inside the gym.
