Just hours before her untimely death in September, YouTuber Mari Angel posed a poignant question about mortality.
The ASMR content creator passed away earlier this year after a tragic car accident.
A message on Mari’s Instagram account began, “This post is written by Marina’s sister. 09/08/24 at 8 pm Marina got into a car accident, unfortunately she died on the spot.”
Her sister continued: “We will hold a farewell ceremony in Germany and a funeral in Ukraine (when and where is not yet known) For all information, write to me @ritapokalipsis or Marina’s mother @oksana_ageeva_nail_studio.
“I would like everyone to remember her as always smiling and happy as in these photos.”
Mari’s sister shared several images of the influencer enjoying her travels, showcasing her passion for experiencing the world.
A video that Mari uploaded on 8 September, mere hours before her passing, has resurfaced and is particularly poignant.
In the video, Mari asked her followers, “What do you think happens after death?” Tragically, just hours later, she was killed in a car accident involving a drunk driver.
One Reddit user commented, “Wow that’s a horrible coincidence,” while another added, “Wow, That really is morbid.”
Fans expressed their condolences in the comments section of the Instagram post, with one person writing: “She was inspiring because she pursued her dreams and did not give up. She was hard working and determined. She also very sweet to her followers from her ASMR.”
“I learned from her to pursue your dreams, be confident, live the life you want to live. She would have been very successful. Her ASMR followers will miss her dearly, but my prayers to her family who lost their sweet angel.”

Another follower said: “I am so heartbroken, she was a pure soul, some whose kindness shone through her channel and someone who was like a genuine friend.”
Meanwhile, a third shared: “Such a beautiful soul I’m so sorry for your loss, RIP beautiful Mari I will always remember you for spreading so much good energy and positivity, I’m so thankful to have known you.”
“What a heartbreaking story. Mari Angel’s question feels even more profound now. May she rest in peace, and may her family find strength during this difficult time,” commented a fourth user on Twitter.
