Childhood and youth
On March 27, 1986, in the Kalmyk capital of Elista, a son, Timofey, was born into the family of a top-class cook and nurse Shevchenko. The boy grew up to the delight of his family: he demonstrated success at school, studied in a class with a chemical and biological bias, was fond of dancing and, by his own admission on the social network Instagram, even then dreamed of “a big stage and great things.”
Tima Brik's family
By the way, he owes his happy childhood to his grandparents, who, with the help of attention, care and love, made sure that the grandson did not feel loneliness and deprivation. It is also known that from a young age the child suffered from diabetes, had disabilities and even experienced clinical death.
The guy decided to receive higher education at the Faculty of Philology of KSU, by the end of which he was fluent in two foreign languages. At the university he was also involved in social activities - he organized the El-City program and gave concerts in local institutions together with a music band.
Tim Brik in his school years Knowledge was easily acquired, so Tim did not want to stop there and moved to the main university of Moscow. Having entered the journalism department, he actively participated in the nightlife of the capital, making acquaintances with representatives of bohemia, and recorded his own tracks, which were favorably received by the public and several radio stations. Thanks to my parents, I didn’t need money.
However, everything changed overnight with the sudden death of Vadim’s father - the care and support of his mother Irina and sister Maria, paying for housing, buying groceries, etc. fell on the young man’s shoulders. A way out of the situation was found by an accidental and happy acquaintance with.
Career and projects
In 2010, a new page opened in Timofey’s creative biography: he became the PR director for the King of Glamor and worked under the pseudonym Tim Brick. Knowing the secrets and intricacies of his profession, he made his protégé appear as a TV presenter of fashion programs and won an award from a domestic music television channel.
Three years later, Brick began producing the then-forgotten song - he brought her to the big screen in two shows, insisted on changing her image, and helped give birth to a new pop singer, whose singles were eagerly played by Love Radio and Keks FM.
“After the changes, a series of rating broadcasts, interviews, news and social events awaited her. And it bore fruit. Now her demand in Yandex exceeds requests for Philip Kirkorov and Ksenia Sobchak, in addition, she returned to the screens again after a year of inactivity,” Timofey said then about the ward.
The successes of the talented guy did not leave other pop stars indifferent, who became his clients: and from “House-2”.
According to Brick, both white and black PR are good for a celebrity, but in acceptable doses. For example, having gone too far with a lot of scandals, she turned from a professional into a comedian. A wildly twisted love affair and mandatory communication with journalists are also effective for promoting a name.
By the way, the latter, for the high-quality use of news feeds and further discussion of the news he offers, called the PR specialist “the main storyteller of the country.”
Personal life
In his personal life, everything was going well - Tim was in a relationship with a famous model and socialite. According to rumors, the Prince of Monaco, an Arab sheikh, and others were passionate about the woman before him. The couple pampered their subscribers with touching photos and did not hide their true feelings.
Shortly before his death, a young man at a friendly meeting in a restaurant unexpectedly presented his beloved with a piece of jewelry with a hint.
“At first he gave me a ring and said it was just a gift. Then he said: “You and I are getting married. Are you aware?”, Yana later recalled.
She accepted the marriage proposal, the date of the wedding celebration was discussed, which, unfortunately, did not take place.
“Let Them Talk” program about Tim BrickAfter the tragedy, so-called television investigations into its circumstances and causes began to take place one after another. “Russia 1” did not stand aside: Tima’s ex-girlfriend Evgenia also participated in the “Live Broadcast” program, saying that he knew how to look after beautifully, spent his last funds on gifts and wanted to start a family.
By the way, the version that the young man had a non-traditional sexual orientation spread with the light hand of the same Dana Borisova, but after the death of her former producer.
Death
On the night of February 5, 2016, Tim brought the Dom-2 participants for a consultation to the capital’s plastic surgery clinic. According to one version, on the way he complained of pain in his heart, but refused to go to the pharmacy. Having sent the girls to the doctor, he felt bad and decided to measure their blood sugar level, which turned out to be critically exceeded.
An insulin injection and then a drip did not improve the situation; convulsions began. The ambulance that was called tried to do everything possible for an hour and a half, but Shevchenko fell into a coma and died.
Cause of death: complications of diabetes. As various media outlets wrote, they could have been triggered by weight loss pills, but a medical examination confirmed the absence of the drug in the body. The funeral took place on February 9, the grave is located at the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery.
In 2017, the former presenter of the “Army Store” appeared on “Let Them Talk” and said that it was Brick who was to blame for her drug addiction, who “addicted” her to weight loss medicine, which caused a stir in the public eye.
In 2018, she became the first star guest of the 19th “Battle of Psychics,” where the late producer supposedly contacted her through a clairvoyant and said hello to mutual friends, which amazed the impressionable blonde. By the way, after the premiere episode aired, she gave her own consent to participate in the show:
“They write that I will go to any show as long as they pay me. You know, if you were offered a sum with nine zeros, I would see how you would refuse it. Moreover, it’s a highly rated project.”
For many show business stars, the news of the death of the famous PR director came as a real shock. After all, it was he who took care of maintaining the popularity of some celebrities. The sudden death of the 29-year-old guy was a bitter loss not only for his loved ones. To those who worked with them, he was more than just a colleague. Various versions of what happened last night in the clinic of a famous plastic surgeon appear in the media. “StarHit” decided to communicate with Tima’s relatives in order to restore the picture of that ill-fated evening.
Next to him at the fatal moments was his assistant and close friend. He told what exactly led Tim to the plastic surgeon and what happened directly at the medical center.
“We were going to a plastic surgery clinic, where he took his friends, Ekaterina, a former participant in Dom-2, and her friend, for an examination. As he approached the building, he said his heart began to hurt. I suggested going to the pharmacy, to which he replied: “We’ll stop by later.” As a result, we went into the clinic, sat for about ten minutes, and then the girls went in for an examination. After some time, Tima began to feel ill. He measured his blood sugar - it turned out to be elevated. I injected myself with insulin to lower it. But then he started having convulsions,” said a close friend of Brick.
He says that since all this happened in the clinic, they had the opportunity to immediately put in an IV. However, this did not improve the situation. In just five minutes, an ambulance arrived and made every effort to save the young man’s life. For an hour and a half, doctors tried to do everything to prevent Tima’s death.
“He always felt great, smiled and didn’t complain about anything,” the assistant continued in a conversation with StarHit. “However, he experienced clinical death in childhood. They pumped it out, but this time there was no luck. I prayed and cried, but there was nothing I could do to help at that moment. I don’t believe this happened - I was next to him all day.”
Singer Prokhor Chaliapin recalls that over a long period of cooperation with Tima, they became true friends. The artist cannot believe that Tima is now gone. Trusting relationships allowed Prokhor to make his own assumptions about what could have caused the sudden death of the young man.
“Tima abused diet pills. He loved sweets very much and could not deny himself this, but in order to maintain a fit figure he drank various drugs. But he was completely dismissive of the dosage of funds. For example, instead of two tablets, I could take five at a time. He advised me to take them too, but I refused. I knew he had diabetes and insisted that he take better care of his health. But Tim constantly refused my advice to undergo a full examination due to the fact that he allegedly did not have time to go to clinics. He brushed off my comments about the fact that he was taking pills uncontrollably: “I won’t die from this,” Prokhor told StarHit with bitterness in his voice.
According to Prokhor, there were no signs of trouble - there were no premonitions, suspicions or unusual behavior. On the day of the tragedy, Tima and Prokhor agreed to meet, but the PR director postponed everything until the next day. And closer to midnight, Chaliapin learned about the death of his friend.
“I can’t tell you how I feel right now. I lost not just a partner, but a friend. During my depression and anxiety, it was he who supported me and even acted as a personal psychologist. I am very grateful to fate for bringing me together with such a bright person and I cannot come to terms with the death of a close friend. “I can’t believe what happened,” Chaliapin shared.
It must be said that the famous TV presenter Dana Borisova appears in many media. Allegedly she was in the clinic next to Tima. But Tima's assistant denies such statements. Dana herself said that as soon as she learned about what happened, she wanted to go to the clinic. But then I decided to stay at home so as not to create unnecessary commotion at the scene of the tragedy.
For the TV presenter, it is surprising that Tima began to be associated with her, because for about two years they had not collaborated with each other and practically did not communicate. However, shortly before his death, he tried to get in touch with Dana. Unfortunately, she was unable to respond to her former PR director because she was busy filming. And Borisova did not know that the guy was taking pills and trying to lose weight.
“I knew about diabetes for a long time, he was even given injections in the stomach in front of me, he constantly monitored his blood sugar levels - he pricked his finger,” Dana Borisova told StarHit.
