Toronto skydiving accident results in the death of a TikTok influencer

According to a friend who attended her funeral, a Canadian TikTok influencer passed away last week after suffering a skydiving accident in Toronto.

On TikTok, Tanya Pardazi, 21, had more than 95,000 followers and two million likes under the user name philosatea.

According to Skydive Toronto, a skydiving student “succumbed to fatal injuries gained during an emergency circumstance” on August 27. The school did not name the deceased student, but Melody Ozgoli, a friend of Pardazi’s for approximately ten years, confirmed by phone to CNN on Saturday that Pardazi was the victim.

In her most recent TikTok post from August 22, Pardazi noted that she had just started taking classes with the sky diving company.

According to a press release from the firm, “the skydiver dropped a rapidly rotating main parachute at a low altitude without the time/height required for the reserve parachute to inflate.”

In a statement, Skydive Toronto Inc. claimed that the jumper “was a welcomed recent addition to the sky diving community and will be missed amongst the student’s new friends and fellow jumpers of Skydive Toronto Inc.” The staff of Skydive Toronto Inc., who have been enhancing their student training programme for more than 50 years, have been tremendously impacted by this event.

She was regarded by Ozgoli as intelligent, outgoing, courageous, and open-minded.

She was well recognised for her beauty, but her tremendous intellect was what she was most famous for. Every single individual I spoke with highlighted how intelligent, sharp, and knowledgeable she was—that is the one thing, 20-year-old Ozgoli said.

According to Ozgoli, who referred to her buddy as a “gift to the world,” Pardazi was well known for “taking up new activities.”
According to Ozgoli, Pardazi’s funeral was well-attended and was held on Friday.

We all donned white to the wedding because she was an angel, according to Ozgoli. “I believe it was a singular thing to accomplish, and Tanya was singular and distinct in that regard. She genuinely was a one-of-a-kind.

According to a police news release, the South Simcoe Police Service and the Office of the Chief Coroner “are investigating the fatality in collaboration.”
