The famous Brazilian influencer Vanessa Mancini died suddenly of a heart attack at her home, the family announced.

The 41-year-old was in her luxurious home in the northwest of the city of Manaus with her parents, when the floor suddenly collapsed.

The model followed for her posts on the network, often documenting her life and travels. She was found unconscious in her toilet by paramedics who arrived at the scene.

After the strong heart attack, Mancini showed no signs of life and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

It is not known what caused her condition and many others like her in recent years, but family members said they were putting up some Christmas decorations before the woman was found unconscious in the toilet.

Her stunned family wrote in a statement: "Vanessa Mancini has passed away from a massive and unexplained heart attack. She was at home with her parents when she was found unconscious, and could not be saved by the ambulance doctors."

'Vanessa was 41 years old and known for her happiness and positive humour. Family members ask for respect in this time of mourning."

The governor of the region of Acre, Gladson Cameli, who was a friend of Mancini's, paid tribute to her: I mourn the death of our friend Vanessa Mancini, who died on Monday at the age of 41.

'Vanessa was known for her sense of humor and the joy she spread, she will certainly be missed by all.'

Mancini had around 30,000 followers on Instagram where he regularly posted content from his daily life, travels or training routines.
