Famous YouTuber Alysha Burney died while vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico – a day before her 25th birthday.
She died after suffering an asthma attack while she was asleep, according to her brother, Charles Burney.
Following online speculation about how she died, he told FOX4 that she did ‘not do drugs’ and was a ‘self-loving and happy individual who cherished her life and was looking forward to the upcoming year’s plans.’
‘She was in Mexico to celebrate her birthday. She was a very classy young woman,’ he said. ‘There’s a spread of misinformation online, stating different things based on speculation. These sources lack credibility and should not be believed. My sister did not engage in environments that would lead to such situations.’
Charles also praised his sister for never being ‘selfish with her knowledge’ and living life as a ‘very open book.’
‘Alysha was very goal-oriented, creative, and passionate about giving back. She graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Digital Media Production and was working towards her graduate degree,’ he noted.
Charles also shared that Alysha’s ‘lifelong goal was to be a writer and a director’ and return to Kansas City to ‘open a production studio’ and help other young creatives.
Her brother first confirmed the tragic news via Instagram on Monday.
