Tragedy as man, 21, killed in horror gym accident after suffering ‘traumatic’ head injury – leaving family heartbroken

A MAN was killed in a horror gym accident after suffering a “traumatic” head injury.

Mohammed Farraj, 21, was working out at his university’s facilities on October 16 when tragedy struck.

Emergency crews scrambled to the University of East Anglia’s Sportspark, in Norwich, following reports of a medical incident.

The medical student sadly could not be saved and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Mohammed, from Stoke-on-Trent, had been using gym equipment when he sustained a head injury, Norfolk Police said.

The force is now investigating alongside the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Tributes have since been paid to “kind and caring” Mohammed.

His university football team wrote: “A dear friend, brother and son departed this world.

“Our best wishes and condolences go out to his family, friends and loved ones.

“Mohammed was someone who loved to stay fit and active, he was also an aspiring doctor.

“Mohammed was someone who represented all the university’s core values.

“Anyone who met Mohammed can vouch that he was kind, caring and a joy to be around.

“A minute’s silence was held at all of our games that took place on Saturday to pay our respect for Mohammed.”
