In a statement, the sister-in-law confirmed that Pantoja passed away in the hospital after suddenly falling ill. She urged the public to stop speculating about the circumstances surrounding her death, saying, “She didn’t kill herself! She didn’t fall down the stairs!

Please stop spreading lies!”
Followers of the late influencer expressed their condolences on Instagram, with many posting crying face emojis or simply writing “RIP.” Some also shared their thoughts on Pantoja’s recent weight loss surgery, questioning whether it was necessary.
