Tragedy as Camila Trevisol, rodeo queen influencer, dies of rare cancer at just 22
Camila Trevisol passed away last week, just hours after posting a heartbreaking photo of herself on Instagram telling her followers it would be the last time they would see her conscious.
The model acknowledged that she was in pain and having difficulty breathing and preferred to be sedated.
'She couldn't take it anymore and asked to be sedated,' her mother Patricia wrote in a post on her daughter's account.
'She already has been sedated so she won't suffer any more and can await God's will.
Trevisol was first diagnosed with cancer in 2016 when a tumor was detected in her femur following a doctor's visit to treat leg pain after being struck by a soccer ball.
She underwent chemotherapy and was cancer free by 2017.
But in 2023, she was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, an aggressive form of the illness that attacks the bone tissue.
Trevisol was recognized in 2024 when the organizers of the annual Americana Rodeo Festival in American, São Paulo crowned her 'Inspirational Queen' to honor her for battling the disease.
She was honored again at the 2025 edition of the rodeo, held in May.
Hours after her death, the beauty queen's family published on social media posthumous letter that she had prepared for her friends and followers.
'I know it's not an easy time, but I wrote this and asked for it to be posted,' the letter read in Portuguese.
'Everyone who passed through my life left a moment that I will carry with me forever, so I am very grateful to everyone who took time out of their lives to enjoy it with me, follow me on Instagram, pray, talk and everything else.
'I have already fulfilled my role here on earth and I know that my role was to inspire and influence you about life, that you have to enjoy every moment regardless of what you are going through, life is only one and time is too precious not to appreciate each moment, so live and never give up, never think negatively, never give up.'
One of Trevisol's last wishes was that her Instagram account remain active so that everyone could 'always come in and remember how I was and everything I lived through.'
'I love you all and thank you very much for being with me in this life and for everyone who visited me,' she wrote.
'I want you to know that I am going in peace and my suffering is over, but do not think that it was because I did not have the strength and courage to fight, but because I was no longer able to suffer. God wanted me with him and I know that my legacy will always be. remembered…until next life I love you.'
Friends and strangers flocked to Trevisol's Instagram and flooded it with tributes.
Emily Stéfany recalled sharing the stage with Trevisol at the Americana Rodeo Festival and being crowned second queen.
'Our dream came true together, and living this dream by your side was so much better!' she wrote.
'It's shocking how evolved, strong, inspiring, courageous, and a thousand other good adjectives she was that I can't even mention!' another commenter wrote.

Troubled man turns his life around after deciding to run race in flip-flops while DRUNK
A homeless man has turned his life around after going viral for completing a 5-mile road race while drunk and wearing flip-flops. Isaque Pinho, 31, is giving up alcohol after the fun run in Brazil shot him to international recognition. Pinho had been drinking in Garrafao do Norte, a city in the northeastern state of Para, on July 27 when he spotted a group of runners preparing for the race. 'I'd been drinking, and when I saw that crowd, I thought, "I'm going to run and get over my hangover",' Pinho said in a video. Footage of the race showed Pinho pulling ahead of the pack despite wearing only flip-flops, leading the pack of more experienced runners - if for only a brief moment. While he was not registered for the race, Pinho was handed a medal for crossing the finish line. The accomplishment motivated him to turn his life around after years of alcohol addiction and homelessness. 'The reason I stopped drinking was because I ran that race,' said Pinho, a native of the northeastern Pará town of Capitao Poco. 'I changed my life and I want to change it even more. I'm getting a lot of advice and I'll never give up. I really want to participate in the sport.' Estela Larizzieri, a trainer, told Brazilian news outlet G1 that she posted a clip of Pinho on the gym's social media account after learning of his inspirational story. Locals have come to Pinho's aid by donating money, helping him find a temporary home until he can move into a place of his own, and assisting him in finding employment. 'We're providing him with a better home,' Larizzieri said. 'We've already managed to get him off the streets,' The real goal is to build his own house.' Larizzieri even helped Pinho set up his first social media account on Instagram. A post on Instagram Stories features the trend, 'A picture of you running with ISAAQUE,' where runners upload a photo of themselves along Pinho. In another publication, he put on a pair of new running sneakers and joked that the results could be different at the next race. 'If I ran this in flip-flops, imagine in sneakers,' he said.

Juventus reluctant to let Nottingham Forest and Everton target Douglas Luiz leave on loan with Italian giants seeking permanent deal
Douglas Luiz is a target for Nottingham Forest and Everton but Juventus are reluctant to let the former Aston Villa midfielder leave the club on loan. The out-of-favour midfielder is expected to be playing his football elsewhere this season after a disappointing maiden campaign in Turin. Luiz, who has been capped 18 times by Brazil, started just three league matches following his £42.4 million transfer last summer. Juve would prefer a permanent sale this summer while Forest and the Toffees have been looking at a loan deal, perhaps including an option or obligation to buy. Luiz is valued in the region of £26m and impressed in the Premier League during his five years with Aston Villa. Last month, reports claimed that Luiz failed to report for the first day of Juventus' training camp. A decision that is expected to see him punished by the Turin side. In April, he hit back at criticism he has faced after a nightmare first year. On an Instagram post, a fan replied to Luiz and questioned him on whether he had moved to Italy to post on Instagram or to play. 'I didn't come here just to post photos,' Luiz fired back. 'No one else did that, and I want things to be different. I came here with a purpose. I listened to my heart when I arrived and decided to sign. 'Now I want you to answer me: why hasn't a signing like mine played two consecutive games with this shirt? 'You can say what you want to the press later: 'Oh, Douglas is not fit.' Am I not fit? I did all the pre-season and played every game. I had just had one of the best seasons of my career, one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.' Luiz did go onto reflect on his injury issues in the lengthy reply, before he reaffirmed his commitment to Juventus. It has been a stormy year off the field for Luiz, who reportedly split from his footballer girlfriend Alisha Lehmann in May over different visions for their futures. They first began dating in 2021 before they broke up a year later and rekindled at the start of 2024. Since then, the couple had enjoyed a close relationship and both sealed a move to Italian giants Juventus during the summer window last year. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Lehmann and Luiz split some time ago and the pair are seen having different futures with Juventus, with the former expected to stay while the latter may leave. Luiz only played once during Juventus' Club World Cup campaign, which lasted four games, and that was as a second-half substitute in their first match against Emirati side Al Ain - when the Italians were already 4-0 up.

Tom at the Farm review – a staggering study of homophobia
Socially, you know it is going to be awkward. Tom has travelled miles for the funeral of his boyfriend who has died much too young. Deep in the countryside, Ágatha, the bereaved mother, has never heard of Tom and knows nothing of her son's sexuality. Tom wants to grieve but, out of respect, cannot give voice to his true emotions – not least because the dead man's brutish brother, Francis, is determined to keep Ágatha in untroubled ignorance. The social awkwardness is part of Michel Marc Bouchard's play, first seen in Montreal in 2011 and later adapted for the screen. What director Rodrigo Portella adds to this spellbinding production for Cena Brasil Internacional is a fierce physical awkwardness. It is in the way the actors stand isolated on the desolate stage, designed by Aurora dos Campos in rusty browns that seem to extend for ever. The figures are picked out in lonely relief by Tomás Ribas's punishing lightning, lost souls on a collision course. It is in the way the stage is puddled with farmyard mud, clinging to the actors and making their discomfort palpable. And it is in the menace of Francis (Gustavo Rodrigues), an unreconstructed symbol of macho intolerance. He bears down mercilessly on the urbane Tom, played with grace and some resistance by Armando Babaioff who, as translator, relocates the script to Bolsonaro's Brazil, the country reported to have the world's highest rate of violent deaths of LGBTQ+ people. Coupled with the stately pace of a broody, intense production, it makes this farm not just a reactionary backwater, but a cultural dead end. It is a place where any possibility of progress is extinguished like the sickly cattle Francis throws into a ditch. The play becomes not just about the death of a son but about the death of hope. Even if Ágatha (Soraya Ravenle) is not as clueless as Francis makes out and even if Tom becomes paralysed by Stockholm syndrome, this awful scenario can surely not persist. Arriving from the city, Sara (Camila Nhary) throws brief light on a self-destructive culture eating itself from within. It is as cruel as it is mesmerising.
