A social media influencer has passed away just days after a disturbing incident on a livestream in front of horrified fans.

Iidasofya was rushed to hospital in a critical condition after a reported incident of self-harm which she broadcasted across social media.

The influencer, whose real name is Iida-Sofia Heimonen, was taken to a self-harm facility but she did not make it. She passed away five days later.

Iidasofya’s friend Susanna Lehto shared the news online, announcing Iidasofya had passed away.

Lehto said: “I will miss you forever. Have a safe journey, my dear,” as she shared a clip of the two of them singing.

Johanna Tukiainen, a social media star who had publicly prayed for Iidasofya’s health and recovery, has called the 23-year-old’s demise a “great sadness.”

Iidasofya was based in Kotka, Finland. The 23-year-old had built a loyal follower base across Instagram, TikTok and Kick. The woman was often known for her outspoken and “chaotic” content. She is also understood to have posted explicit content on adult sites.

According to Finnish reports, Iidasofya was facing accusations of r***, illegal threats and drug offences. Local reports state she was expected to appear in criminal court over charges later this year.
