On July 1st, Venezuelan media reported that the bodies of Skarlent Rodríguez and her boyfriend, José Castro, had been found in La Guaira state – the area most severely affected by the earthquakes in the country. Their families are currently appealing for donations to cover funeral expenses.
The couple's relatives said they need about $22,000 to cover funeral expenses and are hoping for support from the community. Nearly a day after the fundraising campaign began, donations have reached $13,721 , according to El Universal.
Skarlent Rodríguez's last social media post was at the end of May. The beauty queen shared a video documenting a typical workday. Under the post, her boyfriend left a comment praising her, jokingly suggesting that her striking beauty made many people wonder if she was real or just a product of artificial intelligence.
