She listened to the trainer’s instructions, followed the group and did the repetition. But a few seconds after she got to her feet, she dropped the weights and fell forward, hitting the floor. Lying unconscious for a few seconds, the other gym goers rushed to her aid.

According to the Mexican Post, Betsy died before the ambulance arrived at the hospital.
