The rescuers who were alerted and rushed to the scene of the tragedy could not initially reach the body. The flying division of the Italian fire brigade was notified and the operation was completed a few hours later.
The news reached the places where he was born and grew up in Katerini very quickly, with close relatives and friends of the unfortunate young man trying to realize the tragic blow of fate.
As they say on the LIVE NEWS camera, the unfortunate young man originally from Georgia grew up with his parents in Katerini. He got involved in wrestling and then devoted himself with particular success to the world of social media.
The videos he uploaded on TikTok have become perennially viral in recent years. His excursions, in Greece and abroad, were accompanied by his own positions that provoked debates.
A few days ago, he decided to go with his company to this village in the south of Italy, an area that was abandoned after a strong earthquake in 1783 and was left forgotten.
The aim of the young TikToker was to explore the area and upload a series of images online. But fate played a bad game on the 23-year-old.
As announced by the Italian authorities, the Greek TikToker slipped while hiking and found himself in the void from an unguarded point, on a 40-plus-meter cliff.
None of the members of his company had time to react and save him.
The village suffered many landslides and floods over time and was finally completely evacuated in 1971 when it was declared uninhabitable. With some tourists, however, continuing to visit.
On the occasion of the death of the 23-year-old TikToker, the Italian media reports that the village is hiding very serious risks, since the works that should have been done have not been done. This, as they point out, means that there are many places that hide traps, like the one that led the 23-year-old to his death.
Friends of deceased TikToker Janne remain in a state of shock. Everything, as they say, happened from one moment to the next.
The 23-year-old’s funeral is expected to take place in about a week from today in Georgia, with his family trying to come to terms with the tragic blow of fate.
Jane: The 23-year-old’s wrestling coach “bent”.
The neighbor of the deceased Tiktoker, Mr. Theocharopoulos, spoke about the 23-year-old.
“Yorgakis was a very good boy, he lived next door to me. I advised him, I loved him, I told him to be careful. He had not given the right. Before he left for Italy I saw him in the cafe I had and I told him to treat him to a coffee. He told me that he can’t make it because he wants to leave for Italy, and I asked him when I should treat him. In 7 days I will come back, he told me… in the end he didn’t come back, he “flew” to the sky, he left us”, he declared.
Tzané’s wrestling coach, Vassilis Batalas, clearly emotionally charged, spoke about the 23-year-old.
“Condolences to George’s family. He grew up in the gym. He was an honorable and good boy. He had many distinctions here, he tried to get into the National Team as well. If his Greekization took place, which we have long awaited, then we would avoid these things because he was an athlete – a phenomenon. Our teacher, Lazaros Psomiadis, also loved him, from the first moment he had said that he is a talent”, he said characteristically.
The group’s risky ideas
It was one of the things that the famous Tik Toker and his company liked. Something that seemed to be fatal for the 23-year-old.
Adventure was something that excited them. They were finding intriguing challenges to be their next video.
The group’s new challenge was to find themselves in the village of Rogudi Vecchio in Calabria, Italy, a place known as a ghost town.
On their corresponding trip last November, the challenge was to spend 24 hours in the most haunted village in Greece.
With flashlights in hand they explore difficult places… they enter abandoned houses and churches.
Under each of their videos, they ask their followers to suggest the next craze they want to see from the group.
Next stop was the ghost town of Italy. A mountainous region that was once a place where Greek-speaking communities of Italy lived. There, according to Italian media, “Tzane” as he was known on Tik Tok, slipped off a cliff while hiking with his three friends.
“They are very devastated, they cannot believe what has happened, they are speechless. I only have to tell you that his soul did not exist, I have never met a better child, he really was a soul,” said a friend of the victim.
“Of course we’re devastated, we’ll never forget him, I’m personally going to tattoo his face like we were laughing in a picture I have,” a friend of the victim emphasized.
They are all still numb. Their friend died in front of their eyes.
“He is young, he had so much to give in life. He was into sports and he loved to pass that lesson on to the youth, the young kids. So you understand that we are not well today, we are mourning,” continued the friend of the unfortunate Janne.
The extreme challenges of Tzanne’s company
The company of the well-known Tik Toker is known for the challenges he finds himself doing in each new video.
Every time they try something extreme just for the views. Profit is what drives them to take risks.
The bigger the risk, the bigger the money
Nikos Vasilakos, president of Internet Now!, spoke to LIVE NEWS about the risks that TikTokers often take.
“Each challenge has 20 deaths. Each video can bring 5,000-10,000 euros”.
