Denise Ivonne Jarvis Gongora, a Mexican-Canadian influencer who went by the name “Mary Magdalene” online, died on Dec. 9 after falling from the ninth floor of a high-rise apartment in Patong, a beach town in Phuket Island, Thailand. She was 33.

At 1:50 p.m., Gongora’s body was discovered by the apartment’s staff in the building’s parking area, said Captain Channarong Prakongkuea of the Patong Police Station, local outlet The Phucket News reported. Police and family members later confirmed her identity to the Daily Mail

PEOPLE has reached out to the Patong Police station for comment.

Gongora, who had over 400,000 followers across multiple Instagram accounts, was known for her extensive cosmetic procedures — including nose jobs, buccal fat removal, brow lifts, butt and breast implants and veneers — as well as her tattoos, which covered her face and body. She also posted her elaborate psychedelic paintings online in addition to adult content on the paid subscription platform OnlyFans. 

On Dec. 8, the day before her fatal fall, Gongora shared a haunting final post to her social media accounts: two stills from the final scene of The Truman Show, which included the character’s lines, “And in case I don’t see ya, good afternoon, good evening and good night.” In the carousel, Gongora also included what appeared to be a blurry childhood photo of herself.

At the scene, condo staff told police that Gongora was set to check out of the apartment building on Dec. 10, the day after her death, and investigators discovered a pair of flip-flops believed to belong to Gongora left behind on the ninth floor of the building, the outlet reported.
