A Georgia man who called 911 to report what turned out to be the death of Brandi Mallory told a dispatcher that there was a woman in a car in his parking lot who wasn’t moving or breathing and didn’t “look right.”
In a Nov. 9 call obtained by TMZ, the man — the owner of a deli located in Stone Mountain, Ga., near the Chipotle Mallory visited moments before her death — called 911 and told the dispatcher, “I have what it feels like being a dead body in a car parked in a parking lot.”
After a dispatcher connected the man to EMS, the unnamed owner of the deli said he wasn’t sure what happened to Mallory. “I don’t know, the girl is lying in her car,” he said during the call. “She doesn’t look good.”

Last week, ex Extreme weight loss trainer and host Chris Powell spoke with PEOPLE about his time on the show with Mallory — who starred in Season 4 of the ABC series, which aired in 2014 — and the heartbreaking news of her death.
“It’s so sad that she’s gone because of what she was to so many, including me,” he told PEOPLE. “She was just an amazing person.”

The late makeup artist and the personal trainer (45) spent a year together while she embarked on her weight loss journey. According to Powell, she had an incredible work ethic, but it was her “bold” personality and positivity that truly shined.
Powell said that on the show, contestants are often “on their best behavior” during the first few weeks, and their true personalities emerge later – but not Mallory, who was “one of [his] favorites.”
“She was so brave from the beginning, and she just danced all over the place,” he told PEOPLE. “She always wrote everything down in her positivity. It’s funny because you say, ‘OK, we’ll see where this goes in two weeks’ … and she was still like that. Then, after four weeks, she was still glowing. And then after two months I’m like, okay, she’s legitimately just a bright, shining light to everyone around her.”

Even after her time on the reality series, Mallory continued her health journey through dance, sharing her passion for fitness — as well as her love of makeup — on social media.
“That girl can dance. And she always brought that energy with everything we did,” Powell told PEOPLE. “She really owned the bodypositivity movement. It was great because she was very open about her weight struggles and everything, but the fact that she would just come out and just fully express herself, you could feel how free she was.”
“And that in turn has inspired many other people to accept and embrace and appreciate their bodies,” he said. “I just loved it because she became a symbol of that for so many people.”
