Kubra Aykut’s last social media post reveals her struggle with weight loss

Hours before her death, Aykut shared a concerning message on her social media platforms. “I’ve gathered my energy, but I can’t seem to gain weight. Today I saw that I dropped to 44 kilograms. I lose a kilogram every day. I don’t know what to do; I urgently need to gain weight,” she stated. Her message raised alarm among her followers and highlighted her ongoing struggle with health issues. In a video posted around the same time, she appeared to be cleaning her home, which added to the mystery surrounding her sudden death.

Turkish TikToker’s alleged suicide note raises more questions

Aykut reportedly left behind a suicide note, which reads:

I jumped of my own free will. Because I don’t want to live anymore. Take good care of Fistik. I was good to everyone in my life, but I couldn’t be good to myself. Living as a good person gave me nothing. In this life, be selfish. That way, you will be happy. I’ve been struggling for days, but no one noticed. I’m leaving because I love myself and want to think about myself for once. I’m sorry. Kubra Aykut. How surprised are you now, right? My phone password: 145723.

This note, if verified, could provide critical insights into her state of mind and her struggles leading up to the tragic incident. It also references “Fistik,” which is believed to be her pet, further highlighting the personal nature of her final words.
