A successful bodybuilder mom has died just two weeks after competing in the female division of Mr. Olympia.
Marianne von Gierke, 40, died on Wednesday, Chile’s bodybuilding federation announced, without revealing the cause of death. She leaves behind an 11-year-old son.
The pro bodybuilder’s death came just two weeks after she finished in 13th place in the Mr. Olympia women’s physique category. It was her second time in the top event, coming 16th in 2024.
Von Gierke, who turned pro in 2021 and also worked as a trainer, was active on social media in the days before her death, with her final post hours earlier congratulating a pal on her physique transformation.
She recently also thanked her boyfriend of 10 years, Juan Cofré García, for his support during a grueling season where she clinched the Rising Phoenix World Championship title.
“He is with me 365 days a year, not only when things go well, but also through every difficult stage of a preparation,” she said alongside a loved-up photo of the couple.
She called him “the one who lives with me through every process, my good days, my doubts, my frustrations and my goals. The one who holds from the shadows a fundamental part of all they see on stage.

Someone has to pork that?
Nowadays body building is a science and is no longer just about pumping iron.
“without revealing the cause of death”
Im sure somebody is gonna blame steroids.
‘Roids?
It’s almost like massive amounts of synthetic male hormones meant for farm animals and dieting down to 6% bodyfat by injecting Dinitrophenol (an insecticide that causes massive fat loss while preserving muscle) is unhealthy or something.
Who would have thunk it?
I have a lady who works out every day. But she maintains a little soft roundy on the top and a little cushion below. The chick in the pic, if indeed that was female, is just a boner killer.
“Someone has to pork that?”
In theory, yes. But Laz may be able to tell us if it’s even possible.

“’Roids?” -ZOOKER

LOL. Right on cue.
TBH, my first guess was, complications from an enlarged heart, because, as ZOOKER says, Roids.
There are other possibilities that can have to do with how much stress that kind of training and diet can put on the body. I mean, just look at her. That level of muscle with soooo little body fat.
One more question. Why does her head look like it was photo-chopped?
Anabolic Steroids are a very bad thing to use. Heart attack, stroke, liver disease, and tumors are the worst for women. The lesser side effects include amenorrhea, loss of breasts, enlarged genitalia, hair loss, facial hair, and deep voice.
That looks healthy. /s
Death by steroids and testosterone treatments.
Certain things grow with this kind of dosage. She porks you.
Or did.
I briefly dated a fitness competitor (not a body builder) who (I figured out) took a small amount of testosterone (but huge for a female). She was extremely pretty, not like this, at all. Think Kiana Tom (safe to Google).
Her sex drive was downright exhausting. Got ready to go in about 90 seconds. Fun for about 3 months.
VERY carefully and you do exactly what she wants, no more, no less. Or else...
Guaranteed
I worked out 6-7 days a week at one point
There was a guy that I no longer recognized
after he started taking steroids
I kept asking a friend what happened to him
Where did he go?
He kept pointing to steroid boy
I kept saying no a different guy
Friend kept saying: THAT’S HIM!!
By golly it WAS him...
More likely whatever she used to cut down to that body fat.
DNP is the most likely culprit.
Good form, FRiend :-)
Apparently, body-building hasn't yet included over-development of facial muscles.
Yikes ...
Now that I've mentioned it ...
“Why does her head look like it was photo-chopped?”
I think it’s a combination of a couple of things.
Lighting, just the way the pic was taken and most of all, as body builders do, she’s oiled up except for her face. She’s wearing heavy makeup.
Steroids. PED’s. They celebrate those drugs at the glamour events.
