His wife, Anna, supposedly performed chest compressions on him while they waited for the ambulance.

“I spent every day by his side, hoping, and his heart started beating again for two days, but the doctor gave me the terrible news that his brain had died,” the grieving widow told the local media.

“I thank everyone for their condolences. It’s very heartwarming to realize that I am not left alone in this world, and so many people have offered me help and support.”

Yefimchyk claimed he could perform a 600-pound bench press, a 700-pound deadlift, and 700-pound squats.
