A 33-year-old social media star has died after suffering a “double cardiac arrest”. Instagram influencer Larissa Borges died on Monday after being hospitalized in a coma for over a week.

The young woman was first admitted on August 20 after reportedly suffering a cardiac arrest in the city of Gramado in her native Brazil, social media posts from her family revealed.

But after suffering a second cardiac arrest, the physical education student sadly passed away. Larissa had built a following of more than 30,000 online, where she shared selfies, pictures from her travels, and health and fitness tips.

Just three days before her hospitalization, Larissa – who was from Brasília – had shared a picture of herself posing in Gramado wearing a black puffer coat and checked skirt.

Other pictures, posted just one day before the cardiac arrest, show her in a trendy all-black outfit, with a tag indicating she had been at the city’s cinema festival during her visit.

After going into hospital, loved ones took over her account and shared updates on her condition, where fans flocked to the comments to send well wishes.

Yesterday, the tragic update that Larissa had died was shared, saying she had “fought courageously” for her life. The young woman’s family is now asking for donations to transfer the body from Gramado to her hometown.

A family member wrote: “Any amount, however small, will make a difference and help ease the financial burden facing the family during this very challenging time.” Local cops are reportedly investigating the death.
