Fitness influencer Nicole Brenda Santos Marins dead at 28, cause of death revealed

Fitness influencer and mom Nicole Brenda Santos Marins has died in a horror crash after cycling into the back of a car before being run over by a truck. She was 28.

The health and wellness guru accidentally hit a stationary vehicle in the breakdown lane of a highway in Palhoca, Brazil, on Tuesday.

The content creator, who boasted more than 3,000 followers on Instagram, was riding a Honda Biz motorbike when she rear-ended a Fiat Doblo that was parked due to technical problems, The Sun reports.

Marins, who had also worked as a personal trainer, was then fatally struck by a truck as the driver shockingly continued without stopping.

There were no additional injuries. An investigation is ongoing.

The devastating news was confirmed by her husband, Alisson Cravo, in a series of heartbreaking Instagram Story posts on Tuesday.

Cravo remembered his late wife as “an amazing woman, warrior, worker, [and] a wonderful mother.”

“Thank you for me giving what I didn’t deserve at the moment,” Cravo wrote in Portuguese. “This journey was just the beginning of a beautiful story. Forgive me I will love you forever my wife.”

“You brought out my best side,” he went on. “I will miss everything we lived through — all our plans that would happen, the calmness you gave me from your wonderful smile.”

The heartfelt tribute was accompanied by several images of the pair from their most recent weekend together in Praia Grande, Brazil.

“A weekend well spent. Full of experiences and emotions that will be kept in our memory 🤍,” he captioned the photos, which showed the pair on a hot air balloon ride and riding horses.

The Brazilian fitness guru gained a loyal following on her social media with her regular lifestyle, travel and exercise content.

She had also worked as a personal trainer at a local gym in the Praia de Fora neighborhood.

Her death comes months after fellow fitness influencer Chris O’Donnell, who boasted more than 840,000 followers on social media, died on Jan. 11 at age 31.

The Arizona-based star’s death was confirmed in an online obituary. The Maricopa medical examiner confirmed that O’Donnell died from a gunshot wound to the head.
