Video: Sad As College Athlete Dayane de Jesus Dies During Gym Workout

College athlete named Dayane de Jesus has passed away during a gym workout in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It’s just so heartbreaking to hear about someone so young and full of potential leaving us so soon.

It’s a real tragedy and I’m wondering how a young athlete could lose her life during a gym workout. A lot of questions to be answered at this moment!

Video footage shows the 22-year-old checking her phone before sitting at an exercise machine and passing out shortly after.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, other people in the gym rushed to assist her, with one man said to be a doctor attempting to revive her, to no avail.

The doctor reportedly requested a defibrillator, but there wasn’t one at the gym.

The gym, Foma Fitness, has remained closed amid an investigation. While Dayane de Jesus is understood to have heart problems, police are still looking to find out whether an on-site defibrillator could have prevented her death.

“Regardless, if there is this congenital problem, we need to know whether the presence of the defibrillator could have prevented this death,” Rio de Janeiro Civil Police chief Angelo Lages was quoted as saying.

Dayane majored in international studies was supposed to graduate from the Federal University of Rio de Janaeiro next month.

“We share with her family and friends the pain of this loss, and we are available to provide any support that may be necessary,” her school said in a statement. “It is established that the institute will be in official mourning for the next three days.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family, friends, and teammates during this incredibly difficult time. Rest in peace, Dayane!
