A BEAUTY influencer died on a yacht in Malta after what was thought to be a heart attack.
Farah El Kadhi, 36, was found unconscious on the boat and was taken to the hospital in the harbor town of Msida.
The social media star from Tunisia had been posting pictures of herself on the yacht before she died while it was docked in the marina.
Reports from local media say she didn’t seem hurt and was in the country for a week’s vacation before she died on Monday.
Fellow influencer Soulayma Hneynia, who lives in Malta, called the police when she couldn’t get in touch with her.
What did she say about Farah? “Truly wonderful person, known for her kindness, generosity, and warmth.”
Soulayma said: “Her positive spirit touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.”
An autopsy and an investigation will be done to find out the exact cause of her death.
Farah used to work as an architect for Key Concept and was one of the most well-known people in Tunisia.
More than a million people follow her on Instagram, and she used that to promote her fashion brand, Bazarbyfaf.
A builder and decorator named Taher Toumi paid tribute to her on Instagram.
“It’s true I only know you through Instagram, but the pain has been deep since you left!”
“You gave off energy that was full of life and joy! You lived a good life and showed love to everyone, even those who don’t know you!
“For two days we have been looking at your photos, your videos and we are immersed in deep pain!”
“Nothing will be the same” without her, said one of her fans.
Other people who had met the Instagram star shared their memories of her.
They said: “I met her once on the plane, she was very friendly, especially I jokingly remarked to her that she was small, yet in her videos she seemed tall.”
It was her last Instagram post, and it was from Spilia in Mykonos. It showed her on a Greek beach in a bright pink kimono.
