Sunday, October 25, 2026 - A 36-year-old woman from Florida has passed on after falling from a mountain overlook in Italy while reportedly trying to take a photograph.
Michelle Alejandra Rubio Leiva was hiking with her family in
the Dolomites near Val di Fassa in Trentino last weekend when she lost her
balance, according to Italian media reports cited by TMZ. Local reports
estimated the fall at up to 980 feet, although the exact distance has not been
established. The family had reportedly been heading towards a cable car that
would take them to a restaurant farther up the mountain.
Rescuers reached Rubio Leiva, but a doctor confirmed her
demise at the scene. The remaining family members were airlifted from the
mountain. Rubio Leiva graduated from Brigham Young University in 2012. She
worked as a digital nomad and had lived in Rome the previous year.
