The news of Davide Garufi's death began to circulate on social media on March 20, but was confirmed by his grandmother, Linda De Felice Garufi, through a post on Facebook, in which she also answered questions from her grandson's fans.
At the moment, the circumstances that led to his tragic death remain uncertain. Garufi, also known on social media as Alexandra Garufina, died at the age of 21, apparently by suicide. Initial reconstructions indicate that the young man took his own life with a firearm in his home.
The police are trying to clarify not only the dynamics of the event, but also the causes that pushed the young man to commit such an extreme act. Among the hypotheses that have emerged, there is talk of repeated incidents of online bullying and malicious comments from haters under her videos, which may have influenced her decision.

Davide Garufi worked as a clerk in a shoe shop in a shopping center in Sesto San Giovanni. His fame, however, mainly came from the ironic and funny videos he published on TikTok and Instagram, where many recognized him.
In 2023, after coming out as transgender woman, Garufi had chosen the name Alexandra. However, after a few months, she had decided to return to her birth name, Davide, explaining that she identified as non-binary and also accepted male pronouns. This change had generated lots of discussions on his posts, with some people questioning his sincerity and others mocking him.
His experience, both personal and public, had exposed him to online bullying, fueled in part by the mixed reactions of his followers.
