The family added that Borges “fought courageously” for her life. According to local media, Borges was hospitalized on August 20th after her first episode of cardiac arrest while in Gramado. It is currently unknown what caused Borges to slip into cardiac arrest. There will be a full post-mortem analysis and investigation.

“The body was sent for necropsy. We will try to search through laboratory tests for substances that she possibly consumed,” said Deputy Gustavo Barcellos.

The Career Of Larissa Borges

Borges enjoyed a career in fitness and built an incredible following of over 32,000 on Instagram. Fans enjoyed her posts as she enjoyed traveling and showing off her hard work. Following her passing, Borges’ family has asked for help from the public to transport her body from Gramado to her hometown.

“Larissa left a legacy of love, joy and determination. She was known for her captivating personality, always making smiles for those years around her. Her presence will illuminate any environment and her contagious energy will leave health in all who have the privilege of knowing her.”

The death of Larissa Borges comes nearly two months after the fitness world was hit hard by the loss of Jo Lindner.

Lindner was an extremely popular bodybuilder and influencer who gained a huge following on social media. He was a well-known source of information and entertainment in the fitness world. Joe Linder recently shared his 10-year transformation and bodybuilding workout routines.

Larissa Borges carved out a successful career that allowed her to do what she loves and travel the world to see different places.

“Larissa, your loss leaves an empty space in our hearts. May her soul Rest In Peace and may her memory always be marked with affection and gratitude.”
