A former Mr Universe winner has been severely injured after plunging through a second storey window.
Calum von Moger, 31, is said to have jumped through the window, although the story is developing, according to his management team Generation Iron.
Calum is an Australian bodybuilder and actor, best known for his portrayal of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 2018 film Bigger.
He’s also a former World Fitness Federation Mr Universe winner, having bagged the title in 2014 and 2015 in South Korea and France respectively.
Generation Iron reported on Friday (6 May) that it’s been in touch with family, friends and local Australian sources about the incident as new details come to light.

What they can confirm is that Calum von Moger underwent surgery after receiving serious injuries from the fall, and at the time of writing was in the ICU.
There haven't been any updates on Calum's condition since then.
The actor recently shared an emotional message on Instagram, where he has 3.2 million followers.
He wrote: “Everyone has a past. We’ve all been through hard times. I admit, I messed up bad many times.
“But I don’t care about dwelling on negative thoughts of the past.

"All I care about is that I learn from my mistakes and become a better person. I’m trying my hardest to stay strong but I have my days too.
“The Media will always focus on the negative news to get our attention and start gossips. But the positive achievements I’ve done in my life far outweigh the muck-ups I had along the way…
“Anyway, all I can ask is for your forgiveness so I can keep moving forward on the right path again.”
Fellow bodybuilder Trigilli, who runs the BodyBuilding & BS YouTube channel, said in a recent video, "Calum is hitting a rough spot,” before adding, “I hope this is rock bottom for him and he can get his life back."
Fans have taken to social media to share tributes to the star as new details emerge, with one writing: "Praying for you man. You were my first inspiration with fitness and I’m hoping you get through these hard times."
