She tried to warn people of the dangers of anorexia, even as her emaciated frame provided catnip to the online fringe “pro-ana” movement that seeks to normalize the eating disorder. 

Yahoo! Sports noted that Maria had over 100,000 fans on Instagram who watched as she documented her battle against anorexia.

In June the Instagram model posted a picture of her anorexia-riddled, deathly sick body. 

“No, I don’t take this picture because I’m proud of my appearance,” Maria said. “And no, I am also not posting it because I want to motivate others to look like me. In fact yes, the reason I am posting this picture is because I am on a journey and I want you to join me. I want to share my thoughts, and show that I am actively fighting anorexia. I also want to say that we should not hide ourselves away no matter what psychological illnesses we have.”

Following her daughter’s tragic demise, Maria’s mother posted on social media: “You were an angel on earth. For your fight against this serious disease, we loved you, admired you until the very end, and yet we had to watch helplessly as you lost this battle.”

German news site BILD News tweeted an announcement of the Instagram model’s death from anorexia.
