Instagram model dies in Mexican billionaire’s yacht

Investigation has commenced to unravel the mystery surrounding the death of an Australian Instagram model, after her body was discovered Friday aboard a super yacht owned by a Mexican billionaire on a Greek Island.



The 20-year-old McNamara was found unconscious around 2 a.m. Friday on the back of the Mayan Queen IV in the Greek port of Argostoli in Kefalonia, news.com.au reported.

The doctor on the yacht and port authority officials attempted to revive her as a helicopter arrived at the scene to transport her to a hospital.

She died while heading to the hospital, local reports stated. Her cause of death has not been revealed.

“The Coast Guard of Kefalonia has ordered an investigation into the circumstances that led to the death of the 20-year-old Australian national as well as an autopsy-necropsy,” local media In Kefalonia reported.

McNamara, who was described as an Instagram model with more than 25,000 followers, had been working on the $140 million yacht for the last four months.

The 300-foot yacht is owned by Mexican mining magnate Alberto Bailleres, who is worth an estimated $6.9 billion.

Bailleres was reportedly not in Greece when McNamara died. He had left the yacht on Tuesday and McNamara stayed on the vessel with the crew. It’s unclear what occurred in the next few days leading up to her death.

Authorities have ordered the yacht to remain at the port as the investigation continues.

Reports say the model was working on yachts while she traveled through Europe.
