\u201cTo my \u2018baddie best friend,\u2019 it\u2019s impossible to wrap my head around this,\u201d she wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Monday, July 27. \u201cThere are no words to describe the permanent hole that is now in my heart.

I am so sorry that this happened to you, but I promise to carry on your amazing sense of humor, laugh, smile, and countless memories forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn July 24, 2026, what began as a fun, innocent day on the water with both old and new friends ended in an unimaginable and unexpected way,\u201d read a statement shared via Victoria Silberbusch<\/strong>\u2019s Instagram<\/a>. \u201cA beautiful 20-year-old woman named Victoria Zardoya, who had flown down to Florida for the weekend to visit friends, sustained fatal injuries due to a devastating fall while we were exploring the historic ruins at Fort Dade on Egmont Key.\u201d<\/p>\n

Silberbusch, who was present for the events, added that the group was getting ready to leave before she sustained a fall that was worse than the group initially thought.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ran to the edge, calling out to her, but quickly realized she had fallen much further than we first believed. We immediately began climbing down to reach her while others called 911,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cFriends back at the boats launched flares to help first responders locate us as quickly as possible, and additional calls were made to communicate how urgent the situation was.\u201d<\/p>\n

Silberbusch explained that \u201cno one hesitated\u201d and \u201cjumped into immediate action\u201d to help Zardoya.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone did everything they possibly could to help her. Her injuries from the fall were brutal,\u201d she shared. \u201cWe stayed with Victoria and held her, trying to make her as comfortable as possible while we waited for first responders to arrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paramedics arrived at the scene via boat first before a medical helicopter came to transport Zardoya to the hospital. Zardoya died two days later due to her injuries.<\/p>\n

Silberbusch concluded her post with a tribute to Zardoya and her family.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart is broken for Victoria\u2019s family and for the friends who loved her deeply. I cannot imagine the weight of their grief. I only hope they know this: Victoria was never alone,\u201d she wrote. \u201cFrom the moment she fell, every person did everything in their power to help her. She was surrounded by people who cared, people who fought for her and people who refused to give up hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ross Umentum<\/strong>, another friend of Zardoya who was with her on the excursion, shared a post in her honor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe worst day of my life followed by the next worst day of my life. A beautiful soul and the most amazing person taken from us all far, far too soon. She had a lifelong of dreams, adventures, and happiness left to live,\u201d he wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Sunday. \u201cThe pain, hurt, shock, anger, guilt, confusion, devastation\u2026 only gets worse everyday. She has the most amazing group of friends that have a hole in their hearts so big it will never be filled. My heart breaks for all of them. So many of them flew in from all parts of the country to be by her side every last moment. She was incredibly loved.\u201d<\/p>\n
