“His heart stopped due to complications of severe dehydration,” read the post on the Instagram page of Vance. “Despite all the efforts of the hospital, they could not relaunch here.
“She was a beautiful person inside and outside, and we will miss it every day. It was suddenly and unexpected. Please give her family time to treat this loss in peace. If someone draws something, please put your health first.”

Vance was not at Arnold Sports Festival to compete on stage, but rather to help train those who do it, according to TMZ Sports.
Justin Mihaly, the coach of Vance, allegedly allegedly alleged the reason for the severe dehydration, which ultimately led to the fatal heart attack: “extremely dangerous substances”.
“Jodi made a serious mistake,” said Mihaly in the video. “Jodi used two extremely dangerous substances to improve his physique – I suppose that for the Arnold Expo – without my knowledge, my approval, without the knowledge of the family, their approval. … There is no reason for it to have been dehydrating.”

Mihaly said he had the consent of Vance’s mother, Jenny, to publish the Instagram video explaining what he believed led to severe dehydration.
“You are invited to direct your blame for me if that is why you believe that we can best honor Jodi,” said Mihaly in the video.
Vance recently finished third in the NPC battle of Texas in 2024 in the women’s division.
Vance used his fitness page as a place to show his physical progress, while providing motivation quotes to his subscribers.
