30-year-old Russian YouTuber Stas Reeflay pulled a mean prank on his girlfriend Valentina Grigoryeva during one of his live streams, which went wrong. Reeflay locked her out in the balcony in the freezing cold. Unable to bear the cold, Valentina was declared dead during the live stream.
According to a report on Zee News Hindi, Stas took up the challenge after a user offered him USD 1300. Valentina, who was carrying Stas' child in her belly, died freezing in the cold on the balcony. The pregnant girlfriend was knocking the door to let her in, while in a bikini.
The 28-year-old trembled outside in the cold for 15 long minutes before dying of suspected hypothermia. Stas let Valentina inside his house in Ivanovka village, but after it was too long. He tried to revive her by putting a blanket on her.
In the now-deleted video, he was heard saying, "Valya, are you alive? My bunny, what’s up with you? Valya, Valya, damn, you look like you are dead. Bunny, come on… tell me something. I’m worrying. Damn… I’m not feel her heartbeat."
He also said, "Guys… No pulse… She’s pale. She is not breathing." Stas later called in a doctor, who declared that she was no more.
Reeflay has been arrested for the crime. The minimum sentencing expected is of two years imprisonment.
Meanwhile, YouTube has removed the video from their channel. They also released an official statement that read, "We’re shocked to learn of this tragic incident." It also mentioned, "This kind of graphic content is not acceptable on YouTube."
