Brazilian fitness influencer Diana Areas found dead after fall from Rio high-rise
Diana Areas, a 39-year-old Brazilian bodybuilder and fitness influencer with more than 200,000 Instagram followers, was discovered dead outside the Unique Towers condominium in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday, according to The New York Post and People, which cited local Brazilian outlets.
Earlier the same day, authorities were called to her apartment after reports that Areas had cuts on her body. She was taken to a hospital but reportedly left before being formally discharged. Officials have not released further details about how she fell, and local investigators have said little publicly; inquiries appear to be ongoing.
Followers reacted to the news on Areas's Instagram page with shock and grief. Translated comments included:
'My Godddd!!! Speechless!!! What a difficult time!!! Unbelievable!!!'
'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... Your dedication will continue to inspire.'
'Lord... such sad news … so beautiful, young woman, may God receive her with open arms.'
In late September, Areas posted photos from a recent trip with a partner, writing that their relationship is a daily choice and that they value private moments. About a week before her death she promoted a fitness program called REV 90 and a 'Summer Challenge,' encouraging followers to sign up to transform their health.
At this stage the circumstances of Areas's death remain unclear. This report relies on international outlets citing Brazilian local media; we will update with verified official information as it becomes available.
