She was last seen at a Planet Fitness in Lexington, about 14 miles outside of Columbia. She was then seen heading toward a nearby Lowe&#8217;s Home Improvement store on the night of June 11.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Days later, her body was found on June 17, &#8220;with neighbors reporting that she&#8217;d been exhibiting strange behavior in the week leading up to her disappearance,&#8221; <a data-ylk=\"slk:the New York Post reported.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/10\/09\/us-news\/south-carolina-personal-trainer-elena-moores-cause-of-death-revealed-months-after-missing-womans-body-found\/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_medium=social\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the New York Post reported.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Authorities have since announced that Moore <a data-ylk=\"slk:died from heart problems;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/06\/22\/us-news\/south-carolina-personal-trainer-elena-moores-autopsy-results-leave-questions-unanswered\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">died from heart problems<\/a> following a &#8220;full mental crisis,&#8221; according to the coroner. She officially died from a cardiac dysrhythmia with premature ventricular contractions, Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher revealed. Police have said that there were no signs of any suspicious activity or potential homicide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Moore was originally from Russia before getting adopted by parents in the United States. She grew up with an irregular heartbeat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Moore was diagnosed with anxiety and ADHD earlier this year. However, according to reports, she did not see a psychiatrist. She also had reportedly been told to wear a heart monitor leading up to her death.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;In the lead-up to her death, Moore was first reported missing on June 5 and was found after a 911 call, sitting on a curb, complaining of chest pains and in an &#8216;altered mental state,&#8217; Fisher said. She had been pretending to be a DoorDash delivery worker and was taken to ER, the coroner said,&#8221; the New York Post added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">An autopsy found no evidence of sexual assault or other traumatic physical injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Our thoughts continue to be with her friends and family members during this difficult time. May she rest in peace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>This story was originally published by <\/em><a data-ylk=\"slk:The Spun;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/thespun.com\/news\/cause-of-death-announced-for-personal-trainer-found-dead-at-39\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Spun<\/em><\/a><em> on Oct 11, 2026, where it first appeared in the <\/em><a data-ylk=\"slk:News;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/thespun.com\/news\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><em>News<\/em><\/a><em> section.
