A Russian TikTok celebrity, Arina Glazunova, has died after falling in an overpass in Tbilisi, Georgia. When the 27-year-old tripped over a knee-high roof at the train depot stairs, killing herself, she was filming a film with friends. The event, captured on video, has gone viral on social media and sparked debate about the health of the construction.
The film, recorded by Glazunova’s companion on September 27, shows her last times, during which the TikToker can be seen singing the song” For The Last Day” by the Russian boyband Hunger Boys. She fell headlong into the underwater passing while ignoring the top of the roof as she was looking at the camera. The worried tones of her companions followed her cry.
Glazunova was soon taken to the hospital after suffering from brain injuries and a broken neck, according to local advertising. Following her suicide, a monument was set up at the site.
After the event, individuals expressed concerns on social media, noting that the roof is a risk, particularly difficult to see in the black. One user commented,” It’s shocking there’s no rail or guard there—just a few inches tall, it’s a tripping hazard”. Another user stressed the need for a barrier, stating,” They need to put some kind of barrier around that, it’s super unsafe”. Additionally, a third user requested that TikTok be banned.
The steps and drop were constructed during the Soviet era and adhered to the safety standards established at the time, according to Tbilisi City Hall. The city’s mayor, Kakha Kaladze, assured that the underpasses in Tbilisi comply with modern safety standards.
