Who was Ariana Viera? Beauty queen, 26, dies in car crash months after 'filming' herself for her 'future funeral'
ORLANDO, FLORIDA: A 26-year-old up-and-coming model died in a car crash in Orlando on July 13. Ariana Viera, who held the title of Miss Venezuela, was reportedly suspected to have fallen asleep while driving leading to the crash. Her mother, Vivian Ochoa, reportedly said that her daughter crashed into a vehicle in front of her after losing consciousness. Viera's mom confirmed that her daughter was driving very tired after a series of work commitments.
Paramedics arrived swiftly at the scene and tried their best to revive Viera twice. Unfortunately, she died on the way to a hospital. What makes this event even sadder was the fact that in May, she had posted a video on Instagram with the eerie caption, "Filming myself for my future funeral because it's always me in the videos, no one else does it."
After Viera's death, Ochoa reportedly said, "They revived her and she then had a heart attack. They revived her again, but she passed away when they were taking her to trauma care,” adding, “My girl fell asleep, she was tired.”
