A popular Mexican fitness influencer and bodybuilder tragically died July 7 after apparently undergoing a botched operation to stop her profuse perspiration.
Odalis Santos Mena, who was 23, regularly uploaded pics of her bodybuilder body to her 147,000 Instagram followers. She was reportedly recruited by the Skin Piel clinic in Guadalajara to promote a breakthrough antiperspirant treatment called MiraDry. The procedure is supposed to combat excess underarm sweat by using heat energy to remove sweat glands, thereby mitigating body odor and even reducing armpit hair.
However, the endorsement stunt went horrifically awry when she suffered cardiac arrest after being anesthetized. Mena died shortly thereafter, when the clinic’s employees were unable to revive her via CPR. So sad.
