However, despite being rushed to medical care, doctors were unable to save her and she was declared dead at the hospital. Reports later revealed that the cause of her death was a brain haemorrhage. The tragic news left her fans and followers deeply shocked and heartbroken.
Reports also indicate that Yefei used to livestream for around seven to ten hours a day to sell clothes to her viewers.
