Hers is one in a long line of recent vlogger deaths that occurred due to accidents. Earlier this week, reports surfaced of Turkish TikToker Kubra Dogan who, at only 23, died after falling off a roof from where she was shooting sunset videos. Last month, Hong Kong influencer Sophia Cheung suffered a similar fate while taking a deep fall while clicking selfies on a hiking trip. Same for Chinese influencer Xiao Qiumei, who slipped off a crane mid-livestream.
