A popular Tunisian influencer has died at only 36 after suffering a suspected heart attack while on holiday in Malta. Farah El Kadhi was found unconscious on a yacht on June 17 and was taken to Mater Dei Hospital in Msida. She showed no signs of injury, and local reports say she had arrived for a one-week trip.

Only hours earlier, Farah had shared photos from the boat, smiling in the sunshine as it rested in a marina. Nothing in the posts suggested she felt unwell. An autopsy and formal inquiry are now underway to determine the cause of death.

Her close friend, influencer Soulayma Hneynia, became worried when she could not reach her. Soulayma, who lives in Malta, described Farah as kind, generous, and full of warmth. She said Farah had a spirit that touched everyone who spent time with her.

Farah balanced her work as an architect with a successful online career. She promoted her fashion brand Bazarbyfaf and collaborated with companies across Tunisia, building an audience of more than one million Instagram followers. Her page has since filled with tributes from fans and fellow creators.

Influencer Laurie Marquet wrote that she was shocked and heartbroken, adding that Farah would be deeply missed. Many others shared similar messages, expressing sadness at the sudden loss.

Farah’s death has left a strong impression on her community. She was enjoying a holiday in a peaceful setting, making her passing feel even more unexpected and difficult for loved ones to accept.
