A popular nutritionist influencer has died after falling from the top of a building.
Diana Areas, who boasted more than 200,000 followers on Instagram, passed away on Thursday morning.
She was first found at around 6.30am with cuts over her body and taken to hospital in a ‘moderate condition,’ according to the fire department.
The 39-year-old then allegedly fled the medical centre and returned to her apartment complex, as reported by NeedToKnow.
Her body was later found in the common area at the Unique Towers condominium in Campos dos Goytacazes, located north-east of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
A spokesperson for Hospital Ferreira Machado confirmed that Diana left the unit without authorization.
Her body was taken to the Legal Medical Institute in Campos at around 12.30pm.
The Civil Police are investigating the cause of her death.
Diana had built up a legion of followers on social media where she shared content about healthy living, workouts, and balanced nutrition.
She has also participated in several bodybuilding competitions.
Her last post on the platform, which was uploaded five days ago, has since been flooded with condolences from her fans.
One wrote: ‘I can’t believe you’re gone. Rest in peace beautiful.’
Another shared: ‘I’m sorry, as we won’t have your genius anymore!
‘For those who haven’t experienced it Diana was not only beautiful, athlete and nutritionist, she was a super mom and too smart!’
‘I can’t believe it,’ someone else commented.
It comes after fellow food influencer Michael Duarte died after being fatally shot by police responding to a 911 call about a ‘male subject with a knife acting erratically’ on November 8 in Castroville, Texas.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Duarte, 36, ‘approached officers threateningly,’ and despite being repeatedly ordered ‘to get on the ground by the deputy,’ he refused to comply.
According to the Medina County Sheriff’s Office, Duarte’s final moments escalated when he allegedly ‘charged toward the deputy while yelling, “I’m going to kill you.”‘
The deputy then fired two shots, striking Duarte.
He received immediate medical attention at the scene and was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, authorities confirmed.
The Daily Mail has reached out to the Medina County Sheriff’s Office for comment but has not yet received a response.
