The tragic death of Mariana Bridi
At the age of 14 she began her modelling career. Her name was Mariana Bridi and was an incredible young woman.
Her biggest dream was to make enough money to give her family a decent life. Mariana was a gorgeous brazilian model who thought she can be the next great supermodel and she got the looks! Oh, yes sir she looked like a goddess!
In 2007 and 2008, she was a finalist in the Brazilian stage of the Miss World pageant. Next month she was to participate in the second stage of a modeling competition held in Sao Paulo by Dilson Stein, the Brazilian model scout who discovered supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
Out of the sudden she contracted a seemingly ordinary urinary tract infection. The doctors told her she’s got kidney stones. Nobody knew she had contracted a bacteria that was about to put an end to a terrific modelling career and her life.
The bacteria spread quickly through her body being extremely drug resistant. The doctors from Rio de Janeiro tried to save her life so they decided to amputate her hands and feet. But that didn’t help.
Mariana Bridi died on Saturday, 24th of January. She was just 20 years old. Doctors are still searching how she contracted the deadly bacteria.
It’s a terrible thing to bury your child!
“God is comforting our hearts because he wanted her to be with him now. I can’t accept that my daughter left us so soon”, her father Agnaldo Costa told reporters.
May God rest her in peace!
S?o Paulo ? melhor. Its the best city in Brazil, with lots of cool things.
