Von Moger was left in an induced coma and fighting for his life after falling from a second storey window at his home in Geelong, Victoria on May 6, 2022.

He had returned home to his hometown to live in October 2021, after spending seven years in Los Angeles pursuing his bodybuilding and acting career.

Soon after returning however, he found himself in trouble with the law after a road rage incident in Melbourne on January 26, 2022, where he stabbed another motorist’s tyre with a knife.

Just days later he was pulled over for driving without licence plates, with police discovering quantities of methamphetamine, cannabis, testerone, proviplex and viaplex.

He escaped conviction after pleading guilty to a string of charges, after his lawyer told the court he had been traumatised by a carjacking in Los Angeles.

‘Unfortunately, he spiralled out of control soon after,’ the Herald Sun reported his lawyer as saying.
