Chira’s death
Law enforcement confirmed the tragic death of the TikTok luminary, attributing it to severe head injuries she suffered in the accident.
Prior to the accident, reports indicate that Chira was patronizing a bar in the Gacharae area, from where he was later kicked out following a disturbance.
While on his way home on his motorcycle, he was hit by a moving truck while crossing the road near his destination. The truck fled the scene after the collision.
A quick police response led to his body being moved to the city mortuary, where grieving fans and relatives gathered for a final farewell.
Condolences poured in from various quarters on social media, offering solace to the bereaved family.
TikTok personality Nyako expressed her grief, remembering her significant connection with the deceased and urging followers to reflect on their own life journeys and final moments.
After a recent hiatus from social media, there were concerns about his well-being.
In a previous statement, he assured fans that his absence was only a period of self-reflection and improvement after a difficult phase.
“After a stormy year, I took a break. I’m good. Hold on. Not every day is trendy. I needed to focus on self-improvement and now I feel better,” he said in an Instagram post.
