Turkish TikToker Kubra Aykut, whose “wedding without a groom” video went viral, reportedly died by suicide after she fell from the balcony of a luxury apartment building’s fifth floor in Turkey.
The case is being actively investigated by the authorities who also found a suicide note, reported Türkiye Today.
As per the report, the 26-year-old Aykut died on September 23. She was discovered dead in Sultanbeyli district of Istanbul, reported Daily Mail.
Here’s what the influencer said in suicide note
As reported by Türkiye Today, the “suicide note” of Aykut read, “I jumped off my own free will. Because I don’t want to live anymore. Take good care of Fistik. I was good to everyone in my life, but I couldn’t be good to myself. “Fistik” is believed to be her pet.”
“Living as a good person gave me nothing. In this life, be selfish. That way, you will be happy. I’ve been struggling for days, but no one noticed. I’m leaving because I love myself and want to think about myself for once. I’m sorry. Kubra Aykut. How surprised are you now, right?,” the purported suicide note further read.
Influencer’s last social media post
The influencer, hours before her death, shared a social media post.
“I’ve gathered my energy, but I can’t seem to gain weight. Today I saw that I dropped to 44 kilograms. I lose a kilogram every day. I don’t know what to do; I urgently need to gain weight,” she said.
