Hneynia described the Tunisian influencer as a “truly wonderful person, known for her kindness, generosity, and warmth.”

“Her positive spirit touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her,” the mourning friend said.

The social media star appeared to have no visible injuries when she was admitted to the hospital, with a magisterial inquiry launched to uncover the exact cause of death, according to the local outlet.

Kadhi was on vacation in Malta, where she also promoted companies and brands on her Instagram.

Her last posts on social media featured her in the town of St. Julians, along Malta’s northeast shore, and aboard a boat docked at the Vittoriosa marina.
