Mariana Bridi, this year's Miss World Brazil, unexpectedly passed away as a result of a terrible infection. What originally began as a urinary tract infection escalated to the model's hands and feet having to be amputated, and eventually the end of her life.

The urine infection was extremely resistant to medication, and in an effort to save her life from the rapidly spreading infection doctors decided to amputate her hands and feet but unfortunately the infection took her life.

Mariana's goal was to be successful in the modelling world, so that she would be able to assist her family in living a better life. From a poor background that struggled to make ends meet, Mariana was living the dream of many young Brazilian girls.
