Tanya Pardazi, a TikTok star with nearly 100,000 followers and a former Miss Teen Canada semifinalist in 2017, passed away in August.

According to multiple reports, Tanya had taken one skydiving course, which made her eligible for the solo jump.

The Toronto University student completed the course at Skydive Toronto in Ontario.

"Saturday, August 27th, at approximately 6:00 p.m. EDT, a skydiving student aged 21 succumbed to fatal injuries obtained from an emergency situation.

The skydiver released a quickly rotating main parachute at a low altitude without the time/altitude required for the reserve parachute to inflate.

Tanya was reportedly transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead after succumbing to the injuries sustained during the accident.

According to Skydive Toronto, the company is working with the police on its investigation.

Tanya had an interest in anything that was new and adventurous," childhood friend Melody Ozgoli told CTV News Toronto.
