On March 11th, the news titled “Internet celebrity ‘Queen of Diamonds’ collapses live due to sudden illness and passes away” became a hot topic on Weibo.
The 39-year-old female internet celebrity from Shanxi, known as “Queen of Diamonds,” specialized in selling women’s clothing. According to online reports, on the night of March 10th to the early hours of March 11th, during a live streaming session for product promotion, “Queen of Diamonds” suddenly experienced severe headaches and neck pain. She showed signs of distress, holding her head in pain, struggling to stand, and repeatedly asking her companions to call emergency services.
From the onset of her discomfort to losing consciousness took only about 10 minutes. Despite her companions immediately calling for an ambulance, she had already lost vital signs due to a brain stem hemorrhage of 15ml (medically considered high-risk above 5ml, with a mortality rate exceeding 75%) and was declared dead on the way to the hospital.
According to various online sources, “Queen of Diamonds” frequently stayed up late for live streaming, streamed an average of 7-10 hours a day, and often relied on painkillers to alleviate headaches. She was a single mother who worked tirelessly to support her 4-year-old daughter.
On March 11th, the personal account of the internet celebrity “Queen of Diamonds” was no longer available. The news of her unfortunate passing surged to the top of Weibo’s hot searches.
Netizens expressed their shock, “At 39 years old, suffering a sudden brain hemorrhage during a live stream, she went from complaining of a headache to passing away in just ten minutes. Her last words were ‘Quickly call 120,’ it’s heart-wrenching. Behind her hard work was the toll of staying up late and overworking her body.” “During the last three minutes of ‘Queen of Diamonds’ life, she kept trying to help herself by pressing on her head, but unfortunately, she lost the battle in the end!”
“Being a livestreamer is indeed a tough job, working late into the night is the norm, with some even pulling all-nighters. The key is to keep the audience engaged constantly, talking non-stop, which drains energy and vitality.” “Livestreaming is exhausting, requiring full concentration at all times, maintaining high emotions, interacting with fans, and maintaining control of the livestream. In addition, most of the time, it doesn’t bring in much money, so even earning a salary is considered decent.”
