A beauty influencer has suffered an untimely death after suffering a suspected heart attack while on a yacht holiday in Malta.
Tunisian-born Farah El Kadhi, 36, was rushed to Mater Dei Hospital in the port city of Msida, on the eastern side of the island, after she was found lifeless on a yacht on June 17.
Hours earlier, Farah, a trained architect, had posted photos of her aboard the boat, which was docked in a marina.
According to local media reports, she showed no signs of injury and had arrived in the country for a week-long holiday.
An autopsy will be carried out and a magistrate’s inquiry has been opened to confirm the exact cause of death.
Fellow Tunisian influencer Soulayma Hneynia, who lives in Malta and took part in the first season of Love Island Malta, was among those who raised the alarm when she could not reach her.
