Turkish Tik Tok influencer Kubra Aykat, famous for her “Groomless Wedding” videos, has died at the age of 26. According to Turkish media reports, Ms Aykat fell from the fifth floor of a luxury apartment building in Istanbul’s Sultanbeyli district on Monday. According to reports, local authorities also discovered a suicide note with her body. The circumstances surrounding his death are under investigation.
In the days leading up to his death, many fans noted that Ayakat’s last posts on social media seemed increasingly worrisome. Hours before her death, she posted a heart-wrenching letter on her social media account about her weight gain experience. “I’ve got my energy back, but I’m not likely to gain weight,” she expressed in her last post. I lose a kilo every day. I don’t know what to do; I need to gain weight urgently.” In her last TikTok video, she was seen cleaning her apartment shortly before her tragic fall.
Notably, she gained widespread recognition with her unconventional and empowering “Wedding without a Groom” series on TikTok in 2023. In a bold statement, she symbolically “married” herself, wearing a stunning white gown and tiara, declaring, “I can’t find a suitable groom for me.” She was also seen running away in a car carrying her bouquet and celebrating. Another viral clip shows her hilariously enjoying a burger in her wedding dress, calling herself a “nervous bride”.
News of her death has sent shockwaves through social media, leaving her followers devastated. Many fans and admirers took to various platforms to express their heartfelt condolences and remembered Ayakat as an “angel with a beautiful heart”.
Meanwhile, Turkish authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Aykat’s death, with an autopsy being carried out on his body. Aykut’s hometown, where his parents live, will host his funeral, with several fellow TikTok victims attending and paying their respects.
