YouTuber Mari Angel asked a heartbreaking question about death just hours before she was killed back in September.
The ASMR content creator tragically died earlier this year after being involved in a car accident.
"This post is written by Marina’s sister. 09/08/24 at 8 pm Marina got into a car accident, unfortunately she died on the spot," a post on Mari's Instagram page began.
She continued: "We will hold a farewell ceremony in Germany and a funeral in Ukraine (when and where is not yet known) For all information, write to me @ritapokalipsis or Marina’s mother @oksana_ageeva_nail_studio.

"I would like everyone to remember her as always smiling and happy as in these photos."
Mari's sister posted a bunch of photos of the social media influencer on her travels, and there's no questioning she was loving seeing the world.
But a video Mari shared on 8 September, just hours before her death, has resurfaced - and it certainly makes for heartbreaking listening.
"What do you think happens after death?" Mari posed to her followers. Just hours after that video was posted, Mari was killed in a car accident caused by a drunk driver.
"Wow that's a horrible coincidence," one person penned on Reddit while a second added: "Wow, That really is morbid."
Fans flocked to the comments section of the Instagram post to pay their respects, with one person penning: "She was inspiring because she pursued her dreams and did not give up. She was hard working and determined. She also very sweet to her followers from her ASMR.
"I learned from her to pursue your dreams, be confident, live the life you want to live. She would have been very successful. Her ASMR followers will miss her dearly, but my prayers to her family who lost their sweet angel."
While a second added: "I am so heartbroken, she was a pure soul, some whose kindness shone through her channel and someone who was like a genuine friend."
Meanwhile, a third remarked: "Such a beautiful soul I'm so sorry for your loss, RIP beautiful Mari i will always remember you for spreading so much good energy and positivity, I'm so thankful to have known you."
"What a heartbreaking story. Mari Angel’s question feels even more profound now. May she rest in peace, and may her family find strength during this difficult time," a fourth quipped on Twitter.
