Ivan’s note read, “One of Cristina’s priorities was to be close to her followers.” Ivan also invited fans for “their last goodbye” by paying the final respects to her at a funeral home in Asunción, in Paraguay.
The statement read, “Out of respect in this delicate moment, the entrance to the wake room will be exclusively for family and friends, we appreciate your desire to accompany us in this delicate moment. We ask you to use the space on the ground floor to leave a dedication and pay tribute to Vita.”
Reports published by the BBC and ABC stated that the model was shot at a music festival on 30 January and was confirmed dead. The shooting took place at the Ja’umina Fest concert, which hosted thousands of people at the Jose Asunción amphitheater. The incident led to the death of two people and injuring at least four.
The Cordillera police department director Benicio Ramirez told reporters that Cristina was not the ‘target’ and stated, “The lady was waiting for her husband,”
Cristina was famous on Instagram with a huge 520,000-follower base. She recently captioned a photo in Spanish with her son, which translated “The most beautiful hug in the world.” The model also celebrated the New Year with her three kids and captioned a photo in Spanish, which translated “My reason to be.”
Cristina announced last month that she and Ivan were getting a divorce. Her statement read, “First of all, my personal life has always been closely related to my professional life, I have decided to divorce and continue with my life alone. I will NOT explain the reasons and I hope you respect that decision all for the care that my family deserves.”
Tributes have already been pouring in both Ivan and Cristina’s accounts as fellow influencers are showing their heartfelt condolences amid news of her passing.
