According to Onmanorama, Papu is survived by a 4-year-old son, an older brother and a younger brother, as well as her parents. The outlet also reported that Papp divorced her husband just a month before her death, and that she and her son moved into a rented house after the divorce.
Pappu’s father told Onmanorama that after the divorce, Pappu became distressed, despite her “conscious efforts not to show it.” “She would keep everything to herself and rarely share her problems with us.”
Papp’s father said she often traveled alone to shoot videos, leaving her son at home with her parents, as was the case at the time of her death.
Police ruled Pappu’s death unnatural and have launched an investigation, Onmanorama reported.
In the comments on Papp’s last post, fans of the late creator paid their respects.
