Marta Jiménez died at the age of 34, as confirmed by her colleagues. She was known for her radical stunts and as the host of the show El Hormiguero.
Pablo Motos, Jiménez’s colleague and host, reported that she passed away on Sunday (13), after suffering an accident during a jump from a base jump platform in the Pyrenees, north of Spain.
Base jumping is an extreme sport where a person jumps from buildings, antennas, bridges, or cliffs, using a parachute to land safely.
“Marta left us, the woman of adrenaline, she lost her life doing what she loved most,” he said in a statement released by the Spanish portal E-Noticies.
Rescue teams were called to assist the presenter but could not revive her.
Marta Jiménez’s body was sent to the Forensic Medicine Institute in Huesca, where an autopsy will be performed to officially determine the cause of death.
Marta was known as the “Adrenaline Woman” for performing risky stunts on the show.
The presenter became famous for completing a base jump of nearly 60 meters, jumping from a crane. At the time, she admitted to the magazine *Semana* that she had a panic attack due to the nervousness.
Fans mourned Jiménez’s death.
“Her joy and vitality will always be with us! Fly high, Marta!” commented one user on Pablo Motos’ post. “Rest in peace. So sad, so young,” wrote another.
