Friends recall what Sergey Chibary was like

Last week, one of the most vibrant and memorable participants of the show "MasterChef", Sergey Chibary, died from a stroke. The man was due to turn just 31 in September.

Friends and the showman's wife are struggling to come to terms with and believe that Sergey is no longer alive. On social media, they are posting messages with memories of what Sergey Chibary was like.

According to close ones, the man was like a fish in water in the show business. Despite minor speech impediments, the young man had been realistically parodying many famous artists since school.

After finishing school, Sergey went on to study show business management, and later became passionate about cooking, which eventually led him to the show "MasterChef". According to friends, the man happily treated them to dishes he had prepared himself.

Colleagues say that working in a capital city restaurant gave Sergey pleasure, however, he preferred working as a host on the STB channel. Unfortunately, the project was shut down. This, along with the cancer that Chibary's mother contracted, played a fateful role.

Sergey was very distressed, which likely served as the cause of the stroke.
