Doctors had amputated 20-year-old pageant finalist's feet and hands, the beautiful Brazilian Model Mariana Bridi died from complications of an infection that is resistant to antibiotics.
Doctors originally diagnosed her with kidney stones in December, local media said. But as her condition worsened, she was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection that spread. The cause of the infection was not immediately known.
It reduced the flow of oxygen to her limbs, causing her feet to be amputated last week and her hands this week. Part of Bridi's stomach was also removed as doctors tried to contain internal bleeding, local media said.
Health officials on Friday said Bridi was not breathing on her own and was undergoing hemodialysis at a hospital in the city of Serra. Bridi was twice a finalist in the Brazilian stage of the Miss World pageant.
