Influencer Killadamente Dies at 27 After Reported Choking Incident

The Dominican-born social media star, known for her body positivity advocacy, leaves behind two young children as her family seeks support for funeral expenses.

Carol Acosta, widely known as Killadamente, passed away on January 3, 2025, at age 27, with reports suggesting she choked during a family dinner before going into cardiac arrest.
Her family has yet to confirm the official cause of death, pending post-mortem results, though initial accounts describe a medical emergency during a meal.
Killadamente amassed a following of over 6.7 million on Instagram, where she was celebrated for promoting body positivity, self-love, and confidence as a plus-sized model and influencer.
She is survived by her two young children, Reina and Legend, and is remembered for her advocacy against bullying and domestic violence, as well as her 2017 anthem, 'I Love Myself and I Don’t Care.'
A GoFundMe campaign launched by her family has raised nearly $26,000 to cover funeral costs and provide support for her children during this difficult time.
