However, two families are taking the social media platform to court, filing wrongful death lawsuits against TikTok. Arriani Jaileen Arroyo, 8, and Lalani Erika Walton, 9, were killed in a tragic video posted on TikTok. While the deaths of these girls are heartbreaking, there is more bad news for those who are not famous yet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arriani_Jaileen_Arroyo\"><\/span>Arriani Jaileen Arroyo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The social media site TikTok is under fire for the deaths of two young girls, Arriani Jaileen and Lalani Erika. Both girls attempted the &#8220;blackout challenge&#8221; that involves forcing oneself to choke themselves to death. It is unclear what caused Arriani to attempt the challenge, but TikTok allegedly fed the young girls when they were trying to choke themselves unconscious.<\/p>\n<p>The social media website is also being sued for the death of nine-year-old Arriani Jaileen Arroyo, who died as a result of a suffocation while trying a TikTok challenge. Her parents said she was an active child who loved dancing and was enrolled in ballet. In addition to playing games, she was also obsessed with making and posting videos of herself dancing and eating. Her mother, though, did not see this as a serious problem.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cooper_Noriega\"><\/span>Cooper Noriega<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A 19-year-old YouTube star and TikTok creator named Cooper Noriega has died, according to police. He was found dead in a car park in Burbank on Thursday, June 9. Although the cause of his death is under investigation, he was widely known on the short-form video app. His death has sparked mourning among his fans on social media. The LA County Medical Examiner is requesting further investigation into the cause of death.<\/p>\n<p>Noriega shared a video before his death on social media. His video received more than 27 million views and 100,000 comments. His followers and fans wrote numerous tributes in tribute to him. Noriega&#8217;s Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube accounts remain up and running, but have not been updated since his death. Nessa Barrett also posted a touching tribute to Noriega on her Instagram Story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Xiao_Qiumei\"><\/span>Xiao Qiumei<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Xiao Qiumei, a Chinese social media star, fell from a 160-foot crane to her death. She had over 100,000 followers, and was making videos for her micro-vlogging app, TikTok. She was caught on video recording her fall and still had her phone in her hand. Although her death is a tragedy for her fans, her family says she was a professional and did not take any risks.<\/p>\n<p>Her family confirmed her death on July 24, but said it was an accident. While she was not making videos, she was working and had many thousands of followers. Her family is extremely saddened by the news and said she was doing it for her livelihood. She had over 100,000 followers on the popular Chinese social media app and was a mother of two. It is unclear if she died from TikTok or from another cause.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Matima_Miller\"><\/span>Matima Miller<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The death of TikTok star Matima Miller, also known as Swavy, has caused a massive stir on social media. The Wilmington, Delaware, resident, who had nearly three million followers, was shot and killed on Monday. The death of the TikTok star has led police to launch an investigation and appeal for information. The family of Matima Miller has expressed their grief, and have created a GoFundMe page to raise money for her family.<\/p>\n<p>Swavy, a TikTok star, has been killed in a shooting that took place in broad daylight. Matima Miller, real name Swavy, went by the name Babyface.S. She had around 2.5 million followers. Wilmington Police confirmed the shooting, stating that the incident &#8220;was so senseless.&#8221; Miller&#8217;s death is not the only tragedy involving TikTok. As of this writing, gun crime is at an all-time high in the state, and murders have risen by 63 percent.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arriani_Erika_Renee_Walton\"><\/span>Arriani Erika Renee Walton<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The death of a young girl from Wisconsin has prompted a worldwide investigation into the dangers of video games and social media. Arriani Jaileen Arroyo was eight years old when she died after participating in a TikTok challenge. She was a dancer who enrolled in ballet classes. Arroyo began using TikTok at the age of seven. She was hooked on the challenge, posting numerous dance videos. Despite warnings from her parents, she continued to use the app until she died. On February 24, 2021, she was found unresponsive. Her family is suing the game developer for an undisclosed amount of damages. It has requested a jury trial.<\/p>\n<p>The family of Arriani Jaileen Arroyo filed a wrongful death lawsuit against TikTok and ByteDance, the company behind the app. The video platform is suspected of causing the deaths of the two girls. Neither girl had a history of depression or suicidal behavior. Both teens were urged by their parents to participate in the TikTok challenge. As a result, they were exposed to a harmful content and were unable to make the right decisions.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"282\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eSMMhROcH4A\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Died From TikTok?
