Social media influencer Beauty Couch, known as Beauty Katera on Instagram, was found dead near her burned-out car in the Atlanta area. And now, details surrounding her mysterious death have emerged.
According to the New York Daily News, the news of Couch’s passing came in Thursday after police in a surrounding town of the Atlanta metropolitan area posted a statement describing the incident that had occurred one day prior. The statement read, “On Wednesday at approximately 12:18 p.m., Austell Fire was dispatched to Joe Jerkins Blvd and Landers Street for a brush fire.”
Upon arrival, authorities found a car “fully engulfed in flames” and soon learned it was registered to one of Couch’s parents. The police were also told that the beauty influencer “most commonly drove the vehicle,” but hadn’t been heard from since Tuesday morning.
The news report also stated that based on the initial investigation, police said there’s reason to believe foul play was involved in Couch’s death.
