Fannie Barrios Dies at age 41
Fannie Barrios passed away on August 7th, 2005 around 2am in the morning after spending the previous day at the NPC Southern States in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where she was assisting competitors backstage. Her husband, Alex, was competing that evening.
Cause of death is unknown at the moment.
We have collected all the photos of Fannie from the past several years and made this gallery. Fannie was a sweet person and a great bodybuilder.
I will miss a great and sweet friend !!
She had so much to give as a human being...
I will never forget you !!!
I extend my deepest condolences to the family, friends, and many fans of this great champion. I never had the pleasure of meeting her, but I have seen her in many publications where she proved why she had so much success during her career.
My prayers go out to Heaven's new angel.
God Bless you Fannie.

So Sad to lose someone so young.
Posted at August 9, 2005 08:34 PM by Andrew VicencioWe've lost another again!!!! When does it stop or do we all stand around waiting to see who's next??!!! Its time that the powers to be, take charge and become worthy of all the praise they have been given in the past and now be praised for initiating an end to what is soon becoming an inevitable ending!

Posted at August 10, 2005 06:03 PM by GISELLEWhat a terrible loss for women's physique arts the passing of Fanny Barrios is and what is especially disturbing is the fact she had her stroke so early in life...
Posted at August 11, 2005 10:50 AM by Brian MoraShe had an awesome physique, and one of the few women in the sport who didn't fall under the pressuer to conform. R.I.P. Baby
Posted at August 11, 2005 05:25 PM by Georgedo we know what kind of stacking or even dosing she was doing?
I feel for her family. The dangers of steroid abuse are incomprehensible.
well we knew fannie well. and all should know this had nothing to do with steriod abuse..she didnot have a stroke like you all think
she was poisened according to autopsy results..her heart and brain were perfect..we all will miss her..but you need to know the truth..
Who 'poisoned' her or is this language in her autopsy referring to the supplements she ingested?
She looked juiced and even in the picture here does not look healthy.
May God rest her soul and may steroids and other similar products disappear from BB before many more die young.
Posted at August 19, 2005 03:22 PM by laserlightThe poll on the board asks if we think steroids played a role in the death of a young woman athlete.
We are not stupid.
The answer is obvious.
I hope Fannie Barrios enjoyed her short life.
I pray for her soul and that others will learn by her death that these supplements are poisons.
Better to build muscle naturally.
Posted at August 19, 2005 03:28 PM by Sylvia ComptonBB was once a real sport.
Then steroids entered the game and other products and women gained muscle like men and lost feminine features.
Now many FBB have incredible muscles but do not look healthy, they live unhealthy lifestyles (women on this board are photographed smoking) and they become side-show freaks to win competitions.
It is sad. I wish this popular website would promote health and healthy choices and totally aschew steroids and other unhealthy habits (including smoking).

Posted at August 23, 2005 02:20 PM by LOQUILLOMy comment is to get healthy ladies!
Wake the fuck up! Steroids and the other shit many of you use are poison. They kill you.
You look like a freak and then you die and it isn't pretty.
You can only pretend at being a female. Sure buy some boobs and paint on make up to cover your tough, leathery skin.
The junk is a killer. The sport is full of freaks that are not really women.
And this person's death is an example of where you are going. Wake Up!!!!
Posted at August 28, 2005 10:40 PM by emileeIt is sad when anyone dies, but no female can get that big without steroids. It is impossible. When an IFBB denies it & goes into a roid rage then they are merely showing off one of the many symptoms. Don't get wrong, training is a big part of it, but training alone just wont get a female that big - dont take my word for it do the research and you'll see. RIP Fannie.
Posted at September 2, 2005 07:33 AM by TEKGODIt's very sad. All my favorite bb are from Venezuela, Yaxeni, Betty, and Fannie. Her body was awesome and she was a nice human being. Steroids or not? It does not matter to me. The great human being lost that's what hurts.
God Bless her soul.

Posted at September 17, 2005 06:48 PM by ZachOn behalf of all those who never knew her, but saw her star shine so bright, our condolences to all those who did know her.
It is a shock, and makes you realise how we take for granted these amazing individuals. They sacrifice so much in their determination to succeed. Their passing is such a waste. She will be greatly missed.

Posted at December 25, 2005 09:22 PM by LUIS CASTELLANODOES ANYBODY KNOW THE OFFICIAL CAUSE OF DEATH? WHO WOULD POISON HER OR HOW WOULD SOMEBODY WHO WATCHES EVERY LITTLE THING THEY PUT INTO THERE BODY POISION THEMSELF. I MEAN IF ITS NOT SOME KIND OF CHEMICAL ABUSE WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED? THEN AGAIN I GUESS ITS OBVIOUS? DOES ANY BODY REALLY KNOW?
