Being a model might sound like a highly fashionable life, right?
But woe unto you if you think all that glitters is gold.
As a matter of fact, a 26-year-old brazillian male model died on Saturday on a catwalk while in the middle of a show.
According to reports, the model was catwalking and while turning, he tripped on his sandals and fell face first while working at the Sao Paulo Fashion Week in Brazil on Saturday.
At first, audience members that attended the show assumed that his accident was part of the performance. But upon farther inspection, it was seen that the poor young lad was foaming in the mouth; prompting the organizers to call an emergency crew.
The Crippling Physical Effects of Modelling
He was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital after paramedics were unable to sustain his condition.
Indeed, being a model is no walk in the park. It might mean a life of travelling and glamour, but it also means missing out on maintaining a healthy diet.
In fact, most models suffer from anorexia because they can’t enjoy some of the healthy meals we take for granted.
Apart from that, a tight schedule and the inability to live a normal life renders most of these models stressed out and depressed to the point of suicide!
