Bodybuilder Jodi Vance was 'throwing up all morning' before dying of heart attack, 911 audio reveals
More details about the tragic death of 20-year-old bodybuilder Jodi Vance have been revealed.
TMZ Sports obtained 911 audio from a call Vance's wife made while in their hotel room in Columbus, Ohio, during the Arnold Sports Festival.
During the call, the woman told Columbus Police Vance had "passed out in bed" and added she had been "throwing up all morning" before going unconscious.
"She won't wake up and won't respond to us," the woman told the 911 operator.
The woman was told help was on the way, but Vance died of a heart attack brought on by severe dehydration, her family announced.
Vance's family used her fitness Instagram page to deliver the news of her death.
"Her heart stopped due to complications of severe dehydration," the post on Vance's Instagram page said. "Despite all efforts by the hospital, they were unable to revive her.
"She was a beautiful person inside and out, and she will be missed every single day. This was sudden and unexpected. Please give her family time to process this loss in peace. If anyone takes anything from this, please put your health first."
Justin Mihaly, Vance's coach, claimed in an Instagram video he knew the reason behind the severe dehydration, which led to the fatal heart attack, "extremely hazardous substances."
"Jodi made a serious error," Mihaly said in the video. "Jodi used two extremely hazardous substances to improve her physique — I assume just for the Arnold Expo — without my knowledge, my approval, without family's knowledge, their approval. … There is no reason that she should have been dehydrating."
Mihaly said he had consent from Vance's mother, Jenny, to post the Instagram video explaining what he believed led to the severe dehydration.
"You are welcome to direct your blame towards me if that's how you believe we can best honor Jodi," Mihaly continued in the video.
Vance recently placed third in the 2024 NPC Battle of Texas in the women's physique division.
Vance used her fitness page to show her physical progress, while also providing motivational quotes for her followers.

Florida ex-sheriff arrested for allegedly running illegal gambling house that generated millions
A former Florida sheriff has been charged with racketeering and conspiracy after an investigation into an illegal gambling operation. Ex-Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez was arrested Thursday on first-degree felony charges over accusations he pocketed hundreds of thousands of dollars and used campaign contributions to keep the alleged gambling operation afloat. "As law enforcement, we are held to higher standards of integrity and character than other professions," Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Mark Glass said in a statement. "This case revealed that Lopez violated the trust and integrity expected of him as the duly elected sheriff of Osceola County." Nba Player Investigated For Allegedly Manipulating His Playing Performance To Aid Illegal Gambling Scheme Fox News Digital has reached out to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office for comment.

Honolulu police investigate alleged child abuse after viral video
Honolulu police said they have opened an investigation into a case of alleged child abuse after a video went viral on social media. On Thursday evening, a witness scrolling through Instagram saw a post of a woman allegedly assaulting a girl. The witness was able to identify the woman and child and called 911. The Honolulu Police Department said today that officers have identified a 34-year-old woman as the child's mother, and taken her two children – an 11-year-old, autistic girl and a 3-year-old boy—into police custody and transferred them to Child Welfare Services. The viral post, shared on @hhnewz, asked, 'What would you do in this situation if you saw this ??' as a woman seated in a car at Kapolei Commons appears to yank the child by her hair so that she falls onto her knees on the pavement in a parking lot, in front of an open car door. HPD's strategic enforcement detail located the mother, along with the child and her brother, at about 10 a.m. today in the Kapolei area. Police said the Honolulu Department of the Prosecuting Attorney, Domestic Violence Section, have been notified, and are working to pursue charges against the mother. No arrests have been made, pending the ongoing investigation. 'The Honolulu Police Department takes abuse allegations seriously and urges the public to report incidents by calling 911 or visiting any police station, open 24 /7, ' HPD officials said in a social media post.

Proud Boys members file federal lawsuit over 'illegal' tactics in Jan. 6 prosecutions
Five members of the Proud Boys are suing the U.S. government and certain employees in the FBI and Department of Justice for $100 million over their Jan. 6 prosecutions. Enrique Tarrio, Zachary Rehl, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs and Dominic Pezzola allege in the lawsuit the FBI and DOJ violated their constitutional rights with their prosecution over what prosecutors said was their planning of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. In a document filed in a Florida federal court and obtained by Fox News Digital, the men claim "egregious and systemic abuse of the legal system and the United States Constitution to punish and oppress political allies of President Trump, by any and all means necessary, legal, or illegal. "Through the use of evidence tampering, witness intimidation, violations of attorney-client privilege, and placing spies to report on trial strategy, the government got its fondest wish of imprisoning the J6 Defendants, the modern equivalent of placing one's enemies' heads on a spike outside the town wall as a warning to any who would think to challenge the status quo." Outgoing Us Capitol Police Chief Criticizes Trump Pardons For Jan. 6 Defendants Fox News Digital has reached out to the U.S. Department of Justice for comment. Read On The Fox News App Four of the five men were convicted of seditious conspiracy after the attack, and Tarrio faced the harshest punishment — 22 years for planning the attack — of any of the Jan. 6 defendants, according to The Wall Street Journal. Nordean was sentenced to 18 years, Biggs was sentenced to 17 years and Rehl was sentenced to 15 years. Pezzola was found guilty of conspiracy to obstruct Congress and sentenced to 10 years in prison. However, President Donald Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of nearly all the defendants after he took office this year, including Tarrio, Rehl, Nordean, Biggs and Pezzola. Trump Administration Agrees To Pay Ashli Babbitt's Family $5 Million All the men except Tarrio were at the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6, according to the Journal. Tarrio had been barred from entering Washington, D.C., because of a previous arrest, The Washington Post reported. "Now that the Plaintiffs are vindicated, free, and able to once again exercise their rights as American citizens, they bring this action against their tormentors for violations of their Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment Rights … as well as the common law tort of malicious prosecution and false imprisonment," the suit adds. Prosecutors said Pezzola was seen on video using a police riot shield to commit the first breach of the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6. Prosecutors alleged the men were charged under a "novel theory of criminal conspiracy called the 'tool theory,'" according to the suit. "Despite the legal jiggery-pokery employed by the government to obscure the fact, the Plaintiffs were essentially convicted of 'stochastic terrorism,' a leftist bugbear used to describe rhetoric offensive to them that they claim provokes violent acts." The men also claimed in the lawsuit that the government didn't have probable cause to raid their article source: Proud Boys members file federal lawsuit over 'illegal' tactics in Jan. 6 prosecutions
