Paramedics reportedly spent more than an hour trying to revive her, but she did not survive.
The married mother had no known history of health problems prior to suffering cardiac arrest.
She was crowned Miss Londrina last year in a prestigious regional beauty pageant and also finished as runner-up in the 2025/26 edition of Miss Sarandi.
Vitor Tavares, organiser of the contest Maiara was scheduled to compete in on April 29, paid tribute in an emotional social media post, describing her as “a committed and dedicated young woman.”
“I had the pleasure of meeting her in person at the end of last year when she confirmed her participation as Miss Londrina,” he said. “From that moment, it was clear how seriously she took this dream.”
Tavares added that Maiara had already finalised her preparations for the competition. She had rehearsed, completed her interview, and was fully ready to compete when tragedy struck.
“Just yesterday we spoke, and she showed me the dresses and everything she was preparing with such care to live that moment,” he said.
“When I received the news, I was in shock. It took me a while to believe it. Many people confirmed her passing, but I kept telling myself: it can’t be true… I spoke with her yesterday.”
He described her death as a painful and difficult loss.
“It is very difficult to accept such an early loss of someone so full of life, dreams and goals—a young woman with such a beautiful future ahead of her,” he said.
“May God receive Maiara as she deserves, with all the light she always carried, and may she continue to shine even more.
“I extend my most sincere condolences to her family and friends. May God grant them strength and comfort in this very painful moment.
“Understanding may be impossible, but may love and faith bring comfort to everyone’s hearts.”
