A newly engaged influencer mysteriously fell to her death from the 27th floor of a Dubai skyscraper.
Kauana Bilhar, 27, of Brazil, recently travelled to the United Arab Emirates, where she fatally fell from a high-rise, her mother, Darla Bilhar, confirmed in a heartbreaking social media post.
The model’s partner, Barbara Abrantes, had been with her at the time and was the one to break the harrowing news to her family, according to the Sun.
Authorities have not determined whether her death was a suicide, a freak accident or a murder, according to Brazilian outlet Globo. The exact date of her death was not immediately clear.
“There are no words capable of expressing the magnitude of the longing you left behind,” Darla Bilhar posted on Instagram in a touching tribute to her daughter. “Today you are no longer by my side as I dreamed, but you will live forever within me.”
“I love you infinitely, my girl. Until the day we can meet again,” the influencer’s mother wrote on Wednesday, July 8.
The grieving mother has travelled to Dubai to speak with investigators and arrange to have her body brought back to Brazil.
The influencer’s family reportedly learned about her death from her partner, Barbara Abrantes, with whom Bilhar had just celebrated her engagement, according to her social media posts.
Kauana Bilhar had more than 21,000 followers on Instagram alone, where she posted videos and photos of her luxurious trips abroad and designer clothing.
As the investigation continues, Dalar Bilhar declared that her “daughter deserves respect” after her social media post was flooded with hateful comments, according to Jam Press.
“It is with my soul in pieces that I come to speak out,” she wrote.
“My daughter deserves respect.”
