TikTok influencer Tanya Pardazi dies in Toronto skydiving | World News


A TikTok influencer died skydiving in Toronto after her spare parachute didn’t have time to deploy, according to reports.

Tanya Pardazi, 21, who has more than 100,000 followers on TikTok, passed away on August 27 during her first solo dive after completing a course with Skydive Toronto.

She has also competed in a previous Miss Canada pageant where she is said to have reached the semi-finals.

This skydiving facility requires students to complete a course on “all the fundamentals needed to successfully complete your first skydive” before making their first jump from 4,000. feet, according to the website.

The facility confirmed the death of a 21-year-old student in a Facebook statement but did not identify Pardazi.

The statement said a philosophy student “dropped a rapidly rotating primary parachute at a low altitude without the time or altitude required for the backup parachute to deploy”.

“The skydiver is a welcome recent addition to the skydive community and will be missed among the new friends of Skydive Toronto Inc students and companion jumpers,” the statement added.

“The team at Skydive Toronto Inc have been profoundly affected by this accident as they have been perfecting their student training program for over 50 years.”

In an Instagram post, the University of Toronto cheerleaders said Ms Pardazi was “one in a million” and will “forever be part of the team and in our hearts”.

Friends said she had lived her life to the fullest and “didn’t believe” she had passed away.

Childhood friend Melody Ozgoli told CTV News Toronto: “She really lived every second to the fullest.

“This is the biggest shock for us. It’s very difficult to handle. It’s been a few days, but we still don’t believe it.”
