A Russian woman who became an online celebrity in China after marrying a mainland man has died after taking pain relief medicine for an alcohol-induced headache.
Tatiana Dimitrieva, 31, better known as Nana in China, died on May 5 after being in intensive care for 38 days, Guizhou TV reported.
She became famous on social media after she wed Wang Tao in March last year and moved to Guiyang in the country’s southwestern Guizhou province.
The couple documented their life on Douyin – showing their hobbies that included climbing mountains, fishing in the wild and learning each other’s languages – where they attracted 63,000 followers.
According to Wang, they went to a barbecue on the evening of March 27 and drank wine. On returning home, Nana drank another two glasses of beer.
“Later, she said she had a headache and swallowed several pills that she had brought from Russia,” Wang said, adding: “I was nervous because I did not know what kind of medication it was.”
