Giorgi ‘Tzane’ Janelidze, 23, tragically died on Wednesday after falling into a ravine while exploring an abandoned village in Italy.
The ravine was so deep that firefighters struggled to reach his body. A helicopter was called to transport the body to the authorities.
The accident took place while Janelidze and her two friends were recording a video for the star’s social networks.
The trio were exploring an old mountain village that had been abandoned in the 1970s after a serious flood.
While the group was on a balcony without railings, the tattooed influencer suddenly slipped and fell into a deep, rocky ravine.
Firefighters from the Melito Porto Salvo detachment and the SAF unit responded to the scene, but it was too late.
Firefighters struggled to climb the steep slope and were forced to call a helicopter from the Lamezia Terme del Corpo flight department with a secured stretcher to recover the body, local media reported.
Janelidze’s body was airlifted to the coastal town of Saline Joniche and left in the hands of local authorities.
More details are still unknown about why the fitness influencer, who had more than 103,000 followers on Instagram, risked climbing onto the unprotected balcony.
