Mateus recently posted photos and videos of his amazing body changes on social media, showing how a 'cheeky' boy turned into a ' piecey' body in just a few years. It doesn't matter how difficult and impossible your dream is, he says. "If you really want to, you will achieve it. I was like that, too…" he said.
Some have raised suspicions that his death may be linked to drugs.
