Sadly, once again we must mourn the
death of a young
social media
star
due to her efforts to shoot a
high-stakes video
.
In this case we are talking about the tiktoker
Kubra Dogan
, who rushed into the void from the terrace of her house while she was filming herself and enjoying a beautiful sunset.
The young woman
fell about 50 meters
and when the toilets arrived at the scene, they could no longer do anything for her life.
Who was Kubra?
Kubra Dogan lived in Istanbul, Turkey, and was only
23 years old
.
She was known on social media for making
dancing videos
, especially on TikTok, which is why
she was always looking for new scenarios to
put her dance steps into practice.
The young woman was at home with her cousin Helen, 16, and they decided to
go up to the roof of the building to watch the sunset
and take some videos and
selfies
.
The girls enjoyed the spectacle of the sky without imagining that a few minutes later
the oldest of them would lose her life
.

The tragic episode
The fateful incident was recorded on video with what you can see perfectly how the events were.
Kubra Dogan was placed on some
gray plastic plates that ended up giving way
, as seen and heard in the images, causing him to fall into the void 9 floors below.
When the
medical teams
arrived at the scene,
they could not do anything
for her life as the young woman was declared dead.
His mortal remains were transferred to his city of origin, Midyat, as reported by the
Daily Mail
.
In addition, it also emerged that
Kubra's parents are going to sue the construction company for using poor quality materials
, a reason that could explain the collapse of that part of the roof.

Another fatal case
Impressive coincidence, influencer
Xiao Qiumei
, like Kubra, was
23 years old.
And, also like the Turkish influencer, she
recorded her own death
while doing a live broadcast from the top of a construction crane.
The terrible accident took place in the province of Zhejiang, in
China
, when the young woman decided to broadcast live for the platform known as Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok).
However, the images quickly spread to other networks such as Twitter and Facebook.
Xiao Qiumei
had two children
and, in addition to working as a crane operator, the young woman was a renowned Chinese influencer.
More than 110,000 fans daily enjoyed the posts in which, with a sweet voice, he showed his life and the characteristics of his particular work.
However, apparently in a risky maneuver in which she tried to show her followers the crane, she "stepped into the air" and
fell from almost 50 meters
high - like Kubra - while filming herself with her cell phone.
In this case, there were no eyewitnesses to the fall and the tower crane had no surveillance cameras installed.
