Mestre Hélio Gracie morre aos 95 anos quinta-feira, 29 de janeiro de 2009 - 12:42:34
Por Guilherme Cruz
Foto Eduardo Ferreira
O dia 29 de janeiro amanheceu mais triste para os amantes do Jiu-Jitsu. Criador do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ao lado de seu irmão Carlos, a lenda viva Hélio Gracie, que havia completado 95 anos em 2008, faleceu no Rio de Janeiro. A TATAME ainda não tem maiores detalhes sobre a causa da morte do Mestre, mas o falecimento está confirmado.
No momento, a definição é que o enterro será às 17 horas no Cemitério de Petrópolis, mas ainda pode ser adiado e possivelmente transferido para o Rio de Janeiro, pois a Rickson, Royler e Rorion estão fora do país, o que adiaria o enterro para que eles pudessem chegar a tempo de se despedirem do Mestre. Fique ligado na TATAME, traremos mais notícias assim que disponível.

Master Gracie Helium dies to the 95 years thursday, 29 of January of 2009
Day 29 of January amanheceu sadder for the loving ones of the Jiu-Jitsu. Creator of the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the side of its brother Carlos, the alive legend Gracie Helium, that had completed 95 years in 2008, faleceu in Rio De Janeiro. The TATAME not yet has greaters details on the cause of the death of the Master, but the death is confirmed. At the moment, the definition is that the burial will be to the 17 hours in the Cemetary of Petrópolis, but still can be postponed and possibly transferred to Rio De Janeiro, therefore the Rickson, Royler and Rorion are of the country, what it would postpone the burial so that they could arrive in time of if firing to the Master. He is on in the TATAME, we will bring more notice as soon as available.
