The Dogs of Berlin star reportedly underwent surgery just months before his passing.
A popular bodybuilder and actor who starred in the Netflix original series Dogs of Berlin has died.
Vittorio Pirbazari, who appeared as Daher Tarik in the 2018 series, passed away after collapsing while running on a treadmill at a gym. He was 44.
Pirbazari’s cause of death has not been confirmed at this time, but announcing his passing in an Tuesday, April 1 Instagram post, his friend Said Ibrahim said it is believed the star may have died from a heart attack. Pirbazari underwent surgery three months ago to reattach a torn pectoral muscle, The Sun reported. In what would become his final Instagram post on Sunday, March 30, the actor shared an update on his health as he returned to the gym.
“Here’s my current shape after 12 weeks without exercise or major physical activity. Of course, it’s no comparison to before, but I’m on the right track given the circumstances,” he wrote in the translated post. “I haven’t been able to do much exercise-wise in the last 3 months, but I’ve stuck to my diet rigidly. Unfortunately, I’ve lost a lot of muscle, but it will all come back when I can get back on track in the fall.”
Pirbazari added that he was “happy to be back in the gym” and said he was “putting all my focus on leg training and cardio. I’m currently trying intervals on the treadmill, but since my legs aren’t fully healed yet, I’m taking it slow. The only thing that’s important to me right now is not to give up and let go, and to get better day by day, week by week.”
In addition to being a popular bodybuilder and a member of the popular YouTube group known as the Hardgainer Crew, Pirbazari was also an actor. He is best known for his starring role in the Netflix series Dogs of Berlin. Premiering in 2018 as he second German series produced for Netflix, the show centered around two cops as they investigate the murder of a famous Turkish-German soccer player. His other acting credits he German crime series Tatort, the 2018 short Lion’s Return, and the 2025 film Haps – Crime Doesn’t Pay, per his IMDb profile.

Take the jab, crawl on the slab
It could have been the vaccine, or it could have been a blood clot. My cousin died of this a few weeks after back surgery and that was 12 years before COVID.
It would be interesting to see if blood clots are becoming more or less frequent.
Those competitive bodybuilders seem to die young. Wonder why?
My sympathy for your loss.
People you don’t even know.🤡
Is this a died suddenly?
The article neglects to mention whether the deceased was vaxxed, for some strange reason.
New tagline
Anabolic steroid abuse?
Yes. They do a lot of that kinda thing. It seems like these very lean, highly muscled up types are susceptible to bad endings.
MRNA jabs kill and disable.
How does a torn pectoral muscle tie in with his legs not being healed?
Did I miss something?
Because Covid is history. Nobody even talks about it anymore. It will be in history books like the 1920 flu. The next time it will be spoken of is in 2120 when the next pandemic occurs.
It was a really big tear.

It was a tale of two man titties.”
Anyone else start laughing when they see these guys in Speedos all baby oiled and glistening, slowly flexing their hypertrophied muscles, trying not to peek at themselves in a full length mirror and grinning like cats deeply into their own scat in a litter box?
Asking for friend.
No homo
Probably on Tranq. Nearly every guy I know who took that - and some who take a lot of creatine - have had that pectoral tear/separation.
