She was resuscitated and rushed to hospital.
She was admitted to the ICU after going 40 minutes without cerebral oxygenation.
Amanda was in an induced coma when she died in Rio Verde south-west of Brasília, Brazil on Thursday (22 Aug).
Her 98-year-old great-grandmother, Ana Rita de Oliveira, passed away in nearby Iporá – the family’s hometown – on the same day.
The cause of Amanda’s death has not yet been determined, but it’s believed she died from multiple organ failure.
Her cousin Alan Gonçalves told local media: “Amanda’s death was a huge blow to all of us. It was very unexpected and has left the family shattered.
“Her mother, aunt, and cousins are inconsolable and devastated. But we are united in prayer to help get through this difficult time.”
Amanda loved Brazilian “sertanejo” country music, as reported by Need To Know.
She was crowned “queen” of the CWC rodeo circuit in Nova Crixás in March.
She wrote at the time: “Success starts with a dream, then moves from the dream to a goal, from the goal to discipline, from discipline to persistence, and from persistence to achievement.”
Her cousin said: “She was a person with a lot of personality, very social, loved being around people, had many friends, and was well-known throughout the city.”
