The woman had made a bet with a man on TikTok that stipulated the loser of the game had to set their clothes on fire. According to the bet, she was only supposed to take off her burning clothes after twenty seconds. However, the flames spread faster than that, making it impossible for her to remove them in time.

Her husband told the newspaper: "The children and I were in the room when I noticed my wife screaming from the hallway while 'going live.' I ran out and saw her shirt was on fire. Luckily, there was a pot in the sink that I filled multiple times to pour water on her, and my mother-in-law tore off her shirt so it wouldn't re-ignite. She got a cold shower in the bathroom while I called the paramedics." He stated that he last saw the woman before she was taken away; she lit a cigarette after the incident.

According to her husband, the woman frequently participated in TikTok challenges. The other person in the video, who watched the woman's suffering live, said that everyone is writing to him, blaming him. "That's not true. That 'stake' was set, she accepted it (...). I ask the negative commenters to stop calling me a murderer, because I am not to blame and never will be. I even took my phone to the police, who laughed at me. I want to express my condolences once again to her family and children; this was just a game. It's not my fault she died; the poor woman set herself on fire."
