Raechelle Chase’s pioneering career in bodybuilding and a tragic passing

Raechelle Chase started bodybuilding at a young age and even won many competitions. In 2011, she made history by becoming the first New Zealand woman to compete in the prestigious Olympia bodybuilding event in Las Vegas.

When it comes to her contributions to bodybuilding, she left a significant mark. She not only achieved her IFBB Pro card but also secured third place in the Melbourne Pro and New Zealand Pro competitions. She made history as the first New Zealander to qualify for the prestigious Olympia contest, showcasing her talent with several remarkable performances throughout her career.

She was married to Chris Chase for 14 years until their messy divorce in February 2015. Later on, Chris got in trouble for being connected to drug trafficking and was sentenced to 10 years in jail. After working as a fitness model, Chase was featured in well-known magazines and fitness publications. She also provided coaching services online. Authorities in New Zealand have started an investigation to find out the details of how she passed away.  The officials stated, “Given the recent nature of the death, no further information is available at this stage.‘

Her family and loved ones had to wait to find out what exactly caused her demise. Her good friend, Keith O’Connell, responded to the sad news, “Not going to lie, very few things in my life hit me as hard as your passing… You had so much left to live. So much love to give,” he shared earlier this month. “You were, still are, and always will be one of the kindest beautiful souls I will ever have experienced.” Her elder daughter, Anne Chase, while mourning over her death, described her mother as the source of support, kindness, and wisdom. Despite the obstacles, she shines brightly and became the wellspring of motivation for many people.
