A tragic incident unfolded in Rio de Janeiro when Diana Areas, a well-known Brazilian bodybuilder with a substantial Instagram following of over 200,000, passed away after a fall from her high-rise apartment. This devastating event occurred earlier this week, leaving her fans and the fitness community in shock.

Reports from the New York Post and People magazine, referencing local news sources, confirm that the 39-year-old was discovered lifeless outside the Unique Towers condominium on Thursday. The circumstances surrounding her death have raised numerous questions.

Prior to this unfortunate event, Areas had been hospitalized. Authorities had arrived at her residence to find her with multiple cuts on her body, prompting immediate medical attention. However, she departed from the hospital without formal discharge, a decision that now casts a shadow over the sequence of events leading to her death.

Areas’s influence extended beyond her physical prowess; her vibrant presence on social media inspired many in the fitness world. Her unexpected passing is a profound loss to those who admired her dedication and spirit.

Another wrote, “Today our profession loses a great nutritionist. A woman who left a mark on the lives of many through the care, knowledge and affection with which she did her work. May God comfort the family and all who lived with her. Your dedication will continue to inspire those who pursue the same purpose.”

A third said, “Lord…. such sad news … so beautiful, young woman, may God receive her with open arms.”

In late September, Areas shared several photos from a recent trip with a significant other, writing, “We live and go through a lot together, as a couple. And you know what’s better? We choose each other every day! Our love doesn’t need a showcase, but these special photos couldn’t just stay in the gallery.”

Just a week ago, Areas was advertising something called the REV 90 and Summer Challenge.

“Don’t miss out on the chance to transform your body and your health — limited spots available!” she posted at the time.
