Victoria Zardoya, a cherished friend of Milania Giudice, met her end after suffering a tragic fall at the historic Fort Dade ruins in Florida, where she was discovered with a significant amount of ketamine, norketamine, alcohol, and etomidate in her bloodstream 123. This discovery has shed light on the complex circumstances surrounding her untimely demise, which was ultimately attributed to craniocerebral trauma 123.

According to reports, Zardoya and Giudice shared a deep bond, having been neighbors and childhood friends 12, although this detail is contested by other sources 3. The exact nature of Zardoya’s fall has also been subject to some speculation, with initial accounts suggesting she may have fallen from a greater height than originally believed, leading to more severe injuries 1.

First responders arrived at the scene via boat and swiftly transported Zardoya to the hospital by medical helicopter, marking a swift and coordinated response to the emergency 1. Following the heartbreaking loss, Giudice reportedly engaged in a public dispute with her family, adding another layer of emotional complexity to the already poignant narrative 2. Additionally, Giudice was diagnosed with multiple mental health conditions and subsequently sought treatment in rehab 2.

While these details paint a vivid picture of the events surrounding Zardoya’s passing, there remain some unverified aspects of her story. For instance, it is reported but not confirmed that Zardoya was an organ donor who generously gave several organs after her death 3. Furthermore, the specific date of her passing is noted as July 24, 2026, though this too is unverified 3.
