Istanbul: A 26-year-old TikToker from Turkey, Kobra Aykut, tragically took her own life by jumping from the fifth floor of a residential building in Istanbul. The incident occurred on September 23, and authorities found a note at the scene, which they have taken into custody. The body has been sent for autopsy.
In her last TikTok video, Kobra was seen cleaning her home balcony. In a poignant final post, she wrote, “My weight is decreasing every day. I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything, but I can’t gain weight. I need to gain weight urgently.”
Kobra gained attention earlier in 2023 when she posted a video of her self-marriage, which went viral. Her passing has sparked discussions about mental health and the pressures faced by social media influencers.
