His brother told TMZ that his death is not thought to be connected to coronavirus, and foul play is not being considered.
It is thought the family has been “blindsided” by his death as they believed he was “healthy and in good shape”.
“Dimitri’s family says they had not heard from him in a few days, so they called police Wednesday for a wellness check, and that’s when his body was discovered,” TMZ reports.
It is thought he died Monday or Tuesday.
