The digital community has been left mourning the sudden loss of Brian Chira, a raising TikTok star who attracted plenty of followers with his engaging content and vibrant personality.<\/p>\n

The life of the 23-year-old social media sensation was cut short after he had been involved in a hit-and-run accident in Karuri, Kiambu County on March 16th, 2024.<\/p>\n

His untimely passing shocked many Kenyans as well as followers from every corner on Earth.<\/h2>\n

As reported by\u00a0Standard Media<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>the young Kenyan was spending the night at a popular restaurant in Gacharage together with a friend, but the two were asked to leave the place for causing disturbance and being drunk, allegedly.<\/p>\n

When he left the resort, he got on a motorcycle together with his friend and just as they reached the Gacharage roundabout, Chira asked to be taken home. As they passed the service lane towards Ruaka bit heading towards Ndenderu on the wrong side, Chira alighted from the motorcycle and ran towards the main road when he was struck by a white canter that failed to make a stop.<\/p>\n

It was\u00a0reported\u00a0<\/a>that Chira\u2019s lifeless body was picked up around 4 am at Ambassador along Western Bypass (Ndenderu \u2013 Ruaka stretch).<\/p>\n

Chira\u2019s funeral was attended by a huge crowd, which stunned the organizers who were forced to set more seats and tents. The members of the \u201cChira Clan,\u201d as they referred to themselves, paid their tributes to the late Internet sensation and even contributed to the funeral expenses, raising over $60,000.<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0BBC<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>one of the organizers of Chira\u2019s funeral, Faustine Lukale, who goes by the name Baba Talisha on social media, said, \u201cThese were just random TikTokers, no-one really mobilised them. We actually thought they were attending another burial in the neighbourhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

The crowd of young but unruly people who came to say their last goodbyes to Chira live streamed, took videos and selfies around Chira\u2019s gravesite.<\/p>\n

In the past, Chira revealed to his followers that he was HIV positive, which eventually led to alcohol abuse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
