Concorrente de 'Mastechef' de 29 anos morre após ter participado na maratona de Londres

Estava quase a cumprir o objectivo de terminar a maratona de Londres, que decorreu este domingo, quando ao quilómetro 36 as forças faltaram e desfaleceu. Foi depois levado para o hospital. Matt Campbell, de 29 anos, um dos concorrentes do famoso programa de televisão 'Masterchef' acabou por morrer no hospital.

Antes de iniciar a corrida, que serviria para homenagear o pai, que morreu subitamente em 2016, Matt partilhou nas redes sociais uma imagem com outro chef, Tom Peters, desejando terminar a corrida em três horas.

Esta maratona de Londres ficou marcada por muitos incidentes por causa do calor que se fazia sentir na capital de Inglaterra, em que a temperatura atingiu 25 graus, um valor elevado para quem estava a correr uma prova longa como é a maratona.

Matt chegou às semifinais do programa 'Masterchef : Os profissionais'. 

Well that truly was one of the most incredible experiences of my life @masterchefuk Thank you to @marcuswareing @galettigram & @greggawallace for mentoring me and your continued support throughout the competition. I truly appreciate all your feedback, you have helped me grow and progress as a chef immeasurably, you gave me confidence in my own style & for that I will be forever grateful. --- Thank you to the incredibly talented chefs I met on this crazy journey, strangers I now consider lifelong friends, so looking forward to cooking again with you in the new year. --- Thank you to EVERYBODY who has supported me over the past 3 weeks, I cannot believe the (literally thousands) of messages/followers/shares I have received and how the UK has resonated with my style of food. I’m over the moon to have showcased so many healthy ingredients that will hopefully become more commonplace across the UK from now on. --- Best signature dish, utilising sheep’s dung, Masterchef’s first Vegan dessert, a dish to commemorate my father. I couldn’t be prouder of this journey. This is only the beginning, cannot wait to see what 2018 has in store now. ???? #masterchef #masterchefuk #mastercheftheprofessionals #byefornow #mattsoire #nutritionalgastronomy #future #beginning #chef #privatechef #greatbritishchefs #gbchefs #thestaffcanteen #lakedistrict #cumbria #cumbrian #soigne #healthy #healthychef #vegan #superfoods #kombucha #kendal #kendalcollege #staytuned #
