“His heart stopped due to severe dehydration complications,” reads Vance’s Instagram page. “Despite all the hospital efforts, they could not relive here.
“He was a beautiful person inside and out, and they will miss her every day. This was sudden and unexpected. Please give her family time to process this loss in peace. If someone takes some of this, please put their health first.”

Vance was not at the Arnold Sports Festival to compete on stage, but to help train those who did, according to TMZ Sports.
Justin Mihaly, Vance’s coach, alleged in an Instagram video that knew the reason behind severe dehydration, which finally led to fatal heart attack: “Extremely dangerous substances.”
“Jodi made a serious mistake,” Mihaly said in the video. “Jodi used two extremely dangerous substances to improve her physique, I suppose that only for the Arnold Expo, without my knowledge, my approval, without the knowledge of the family, her approval … there is no reason for her to have been dehydrating.”

Mihaly said she had the consent of Vance’s mother, Jenny, to publish the Instagram video that explained what she thought she led to severe dehydration.
“You are welcome to direct your guilt towards me if so you think we can better honor Jodi,” Mihaly continued in the video.
Vance recently occupied the third place in the Battle of Texas of Texas of 2024 in the female physical division.
Vance used his fitness page as a place to show his physical progress, while providing motivating quotes for his followers.
