Italian fitness influencer Giorgi Tzane Janelidze died after plunging into a deep gorge in the steep town of Roghudi Vecchio. The event happened on Wednesday while Janelidze was filming a video on a balcony without any rails, according to Greek news source Ethnos.

The 23-year-old tumbled into the ravine after losing his footing. Janelidze was born in Georgia and was a Greek resident. She went to Roghudi Vecchio, an old mountain community that was completely damaged by catastrophic flooding in the 1970s and has been abandoned ever since. The settlement on the mountaintop is full of dilapidated and abandoned structures.

The Greek media said that despite their haste to the scene, the firefighters were unable to save him. Helicopters were required by the local authorities to extract Janelidze's body from the steep ravine. Later, his body was moved to Saline Joniche, a seaside village. Chris Kogias, a friend of Janelidze's who traveled with him, informed Ethnos of the of the news that Tzane had passed away. During our trip to Italy yesterday afternoon, he deserted us.

Our journey together was the most incredible adventure of my life." She continued, We had so many dreams and plans for a future together, overcoming challenges and celebrating joys side by side. It feels incredibly unfair that we had to say goodbye so soon. I love you immensely and hold onto the belief that we will meet again someday. My dear Tzitsi."

A Chinese influencer known on Douyin as "Sanqiange" passed away on May 16 of last year after participating in an extreme drinking challenge and live-streaming it. Without stopping, the 34-year-old drank more than four bottles of baijiu, an extremely strong Chinese whiskey. A few hours after he streamed the drinking challenge live, his body was discovered. Over one hundred individuals watched Sanqiange's video, but none of them expressed any worries, according to the South China Morning Post.
