Killadamente, AKA Carol Acosta, Dies At 27 After Reportedly Choking On Her Food

Carol Acosta, a Dominican influencer famously known as Killadamente, has tragically passed away after reportedly choking on her food during dinner. The 27-year-old was having dinner when she began to choke and suffered cardiac arrest, her sister, Katyan, shared, according to The Mirror.

“I love you, sister, and I will always love you,” Katyan wrote on social media. “I give thanks to God for giving me a sister like you with your big heart. Rest in peace, my sister.”

Acosta’s sister also expressed gratitude to fans for their outpouring of support.

“To all the people who are sending me messages of condolences, I want to thank you a lot for being there and for your support,” she said in a video. “And thank you also for supporting my sister while she was still alive.”

Although Katyan shared the news of her sister’s passing, the Acosta family is awaiting the official autopsy report to confirm the cause of death.

“I know everyone wants to know what happened, but we still are not too sure and we are awaiting the post-mortem results,” a cousin told The Mirror. “All I know is that she was having dinner as normal and began to choke and have difficulties breathing. She had an attack of some kind, she was taken to the hospital, but they couldn’t save her.”

The Acosta family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral costs and support the influencer’s two children.
