Miriam Rivera (20 January 1981 – 5 February 2019), known by the mononym Miriam, was a Mexican-born transgender model and TV personality, who became known for starring on the British reality television show There's Something About Miriam and guesting on Big Brother Australia 2004. She became recognized as the first openly transgender reality television star.[2]
Miriam was an activist and spokesmodel for the transgender community.
She was found dead in February 2019 at her apartment in Sonora, Mexico. She was deemed to have died by suicide, but her husband believed she had been murdered.[2]
