The bodybuilder had liver cancer.
– A sample was taken from me at Tartu University Hospital. They said I should be dead already, Kalmus said For the postman in August.
Kalmus previously had the coronavirus disease three times. He lost his appetite and lost 27 kilograms of muscle mass.
After the cancer diagnosis, the bodybuilder asked how many people have survived liver cancer. Kalmus said he didn’t get an answer. He decided to leave the hospital.

– Never give up, never give up. Marek lived by this idea. He would recommend it to everyone even now, the family wrote.
In his last years, Kalmus worked as a nutritionist and coach.
