The MasterChef family is mourning the loss of one of their own.
Yanin Campos—who appeared on season four of the cooking competition series—died on August 4 following a tragic car crash, her brother Raúl confirmed on Facebook. She was 38 years old.
“To family and friends,” Raúl wrote in the August 6 post, translated from Spanish. “We inform and mourn the death of my sister Yanin Campos.”
According to Raúl’s message, Yanin’s family held a wake on August 4 at Hernández Funeral “for those who like to say goodbye” to the late content creator.
Campos was driving in her home city of Chihuahua, Mexico, on August 2, the Mexican Secretariat of Public Security told local newspaper El Financiero, when she suddenly collided with a parked vehicle around 6:30 a.m. local time.
Though the influencer was quickly rushed to a local hospital, per the outlet, she succumbed to her injuries two days later. The outlet also confirmed that local authorities are investigating whether excessive speed or distracted driving contributed to the cause of the fatal crash.
