A BRAZILIAN 

beauty queen 

whose feet and 

hands were 

amputated because 

of an infection 

has tragically died, 

health officials 

said today, 

The U.K. Sun 

reports Jan. 24th.

.

Officials said in a statement earlier 

that the condition of 20-year-old 

Mariana Bridi da Costa deteriorated 

overnight and that she died at 2.30am.

.

The Espirito Santo State Health 

Secretariat said in the statement 

that the twice Miss World contestant 

died from complications related 

to a generalised infection.

.

It was caused by a bacteria which 

is known to be resistant to multiple

 kinds of antibiotics.

.

The model had been in the hospital 

in the city of Serra in south-eastern 

Brazil since January 3.

.

She fell ill in December and 

doctors originally diagnosed 

her with kidney stones, 

local media said.

.

But as her condition worsened, 

she was diagnosed with a urinary 

tract infection that spread.

It reduced the flow of oxygen 

to Mariana’s limbs, causing her 

feet to be amputated last week 

and her hands this week.

.

Part of the stricken beauty’s 

stomach was also reportedly 

removed as doctors tried to 

contain internal bleeding.
